Therefore, a solid understanding of these basic concepts is very important as students move forward into more advanced courses. Showing students steps to solve a problem is necessary; however, showing them why performing such steps is the key to successfully tackling more complex problems.

All of the communities involved were bilingual communities such as the Spanish immersion program in South County and the Kumeyaay native...
