In todays class, the point of multi-representation was further illustrated by the 8x8 chessboard problem as well as dividing fractions. I was really impressed the many methods of solving the chessboard problem, and admit some of the approaches were very easy for me and some difficult to follow. I think that is the point of multiple approaches. As everyone processes/takes in information differently, it is good to have alternative ways to teach the concept. It was also very clear that just memorizing formulae is not a good approach and finding ways to visualize and really think about the question is more intriguing.
