Constructivism and understanding is important when students learn mathematics. In using these theories students will be involved in the problem and will not become bored and possibly cause other problems.
For example with teaching through problem solving, student will have an opportunity to explain why and how they solve the way they did. This gives student the chance to express themselves and builds self-confidence. While working in groups, each member has something unique to bring to the discussion and give them an opportunity to learn from each other through group exploration.

I am beginning to see the importance in constructivism and how it can help students learn math. Engaging students and requiring explainations and understandings will make math much more relevant.
