Reply To: Lesson 4 – Applying Our Understanding Of The Unit Of Measure – Discussion

You may find that as this course goes on you could benefit from pumping the breaks and rewatching and retrying some of the prompts yourself. One of the biggest misses I made earlier in my career was not taking time to do the math myself in multiple ways / with multiple strategies. Only by doing the math will we be able to better understand and thus be able to provide a better learning experience for students.

What you see in many videos is what we might be looking for in student work as they complete a problem and then consolidate using student generated approaches. Obviously pacing what you consolidate now vs what you might want to come back to is a big planning decision.

Once you pick what you’re hoping students take away, how might we create a provocation for them to explore?
