If I have the time, I like to 'tinker' with computer stuff. I don't mean that I take my computer apart, just that I like to press this or that button just to see what happens. I tend to take an intuitive view of computers and what they can do, and that is how I go about trying to figure things out. This is why I am not good at math, of course. Math either is or it isn't. Nothing intuitive about it, at least not at the most basic levels. 2+2=4. Which is not how my mind works. I sometimes think that I would have learned a lot more about math if the teachers would have shown me the end result of a problem and asked me to work backwards. I have never seen any teacher try this, but I definitely think that it would work for some students as a way to get them to think about a new concept.
I'm probably speaking heresy....
