Chapter 10 – Option 1 (Reflection)

02/01/2021 5:16 PM | Anonymous

Reflect on the idea of leaving the door open for revision as students learn more mathematics (pages 272-274) and how some math rules “expire” when students tackle different sets of numbers or concepts. Are you comfortable with viewing mathematical claims as subject to change?

    I have usually always left the door open for revisions for students. One of the things I always tell students and hope that teachers follow suit, is that is ok to change your thinking and go back.

    The Rules that expire was something that I had never really considered, but now see it in a whole different light. In a way it helps to solidify the foundations we are building for students, before jumping to procedures. Those foundations help the students to have something to stand on, when things begin to not make sense or "expire". Allowing them the freedom to have a new path.
