Math Mistakes
I have finally gotten a chance to look through some of the great resources shared here from Brian Bushart. I really like the idea of Math Mistakes; however some of the problems may be a little hard for my students. I have tried this concept in my class. We have analyzed math problems done incorrectly or used student's work to figure out what is incorrect about a wrong answer. I think this really helps students think critically, and also makes them less likely to make the same mistake in the future. Plus, they always love to point out mistakes! I need to make an effort to continue having students think in this way.

This is exciting! You have the students doing the work and doing the talking!
ReplyDeleteI love the idea of learning from mistakes. You might like this video on Teaching Channel called, "My Favorite No: Learning from Mistakes". You will probably have to sign in.
