I really enjoyed the process of doing the assignment. It was such a different experience to have a group project online. I never really thought about how ancient math works in our modern math, especially from a math education perspective. Having the opportunity to learn more about how the pyramid was created and how people calculated its volume. My part was introducing how the pyramid was created in the old days, which gives me an in-depth understanding of why it's important to teach the history of math in a class. "whys" gives students the curiosity and motivation to study the "hows" in a math classroom setting. It also offers the most mathematical proofs with actual contexts, which gives a story for teachers to tell the class, making the context more interesting and attractive for students. For students who enjoy math, it gives them a sense of fulfillment of learning math and knowing the importance of math in tour lives.
My teammates are both delightful to work with. Marius can always make jokes out of many tough situations and find positive aspects of everything I lack. Jacob is also very much knowledgeable of many things; he always offers a unique perspective on the topic, a lot I can learn from both of them!
