Math Tip
Over the last few weeks in our Math tips of the week, we have been talking a lot about productive struggle and growth mindset in the area of math. We are pushing our students to talk about their thinking and to persevere through hard tasks. At first try, this can be very difficult for students, especially those who have not had to explain their reasoning or thinking behind their process before. Below is a list of questions you might try to ask as you notice your child persevering through a math task.
As students get started: How would you describe the problem in your own words? What are you trying to figure out? What is your plan/strategy?
As students implement their strategy: Can you explain what you’ve done so far? What made you choose this method? Have you thought of all of the possibilities?
If a student is stuck: What is an example of a similar problem you’ve solved? How is this problem similar or different? Could you try it with similar numbers?
