Stops in Kallis' book:
I found it interesting to think about how newer cities are made for consumption of humans. Having cities that are also made more for production would help to slow people down. Having people tied to transportation to get around leads to students more worried about time. Having the opportunity to bring students outside and notice things in their surroundings that may be correlated to math is beneficial for their learning process. I also thought the portion on "must find ways to see change from the perspective of what we are gaining (strengthened community resources), not what is being lost (ease of globalized consumerism)." was so interesting because I didn't think about correlating the two together.
Reflection on videos:
I found that the videos made me think about all the different materials you can use to make geometrical shapes in the classroom. I think it would be useful to implement with younger grades in the class. Having students moving around in the classroom helps them stay focused since normally they must sit down all day long. Allowing them to visually see what is happening infront of them by making it themselves can also help different learning styles to understand the topics.
