    Even after all these years of teaching Algebra II, I still see my students tripping over the same kinds of mistakes. They get so wrapped up in memorizing steps that they miss the bigger picture of what’s really happening. It seems to have gotten worse over the years.  Yes, procedures have their place, but it’s absolutely essential to help them develop a sense of intuition first.  I’ll give this a try.
