Discover

Discover Can Developmental Math students really discover this material? I’m not looking for my students to discover independently. I do want my students to participate in the discovery.

Discover As I teach I try to lead the discovery. Involve students Collaborate, not dictate Help students to develop that “little voice”

Summary

True Learning I believe that true learning only occurs when students are allowed to participate in the discovery of procedures and problem solving strategies, rather than being handed a recipe of steps to follow.
