Building Productive Struggle

Help me give my students the resources they need to explore math and work through productive struggle.

My Project

Math takes more than just knowing how to do something. It is about problem solving and exploring numbers. Students struggle with making mistakes and this process helps them be ok with mistakes and helps them learn from those mistakes.

Access to calculators is important because it allows our students to make educated guesses and validate those using formulas.

Glue allows our students to work through guided notes and foldables to help increase learning.

While our students are up and working at the white boards, every student has a chance to be engaged and part of the discussion.
