One of our classmates, Rob Wiser, blogged about listening to a Geometry podcast. I followed the path he gave: Mathematics > How Children Think About Math
I found a podcast called "Using visuals in Mathematics instruction". It not only told the importance of using visuals when teaching primary/elementary math, but also the types of visuals that work best. For example, the podcast says that suing real photographs, instead of cartoon type pictures, helps create a more authentic feel for math lessons, which in turn emphasizes the practical uses of the skills being taught.
I found a lot of different resources and look forward to sharing these with my colleagues at work!
