a humbling experience: a lesson goes badly (students are confused). you replan a different lesson with the same learning objective for the afternoon classes. students are still confused.
I hardly use this site any more, but in some personal news for my friends on here-- I'm pregnant, due in September, and planning on taking a one-year mat leave/sabbatical. π£
@benjaminjriley@mpershan imo, the goal of reading is clear: be able to read fluently and with comprehension. the goals of math are less agreed upon-- do you prioritize fluency? problem solving? perseverance? conceptual understanding? how you teach is informed by what you consider the most important
I want students to be able to justify that vertical angles are congruent (which is also their intro to mathematical proof). Any ideas on activities to scaffold this? #mtbos#iteachmath#geomchat
