Here are some of my favourite bits and pieces from these two modules.
-When your brain is struggling that's the best time for growth.
-We want students to be struggling and getting it wrong at times.
-"I want being challenged to become the new comfort zone, not this is easy."
-"If students are afraid of mistakes, then they're afraid of trying something new, of being creative, of thinking in a different way."
-Mathematical Practice 1 - Make sense of problems and persevere in solving them.
-Encourage students to be sense makers.
-Reward students for experimentation and trying things out, not for correct answers, but for having ideas and being willing to test them out.
-Effort is the secret of life.
-In this class mistakes are expected, inspected and respected.
-highlight mistakes positively in feedback and then get them to correct their own work.
-Don't teach to tiny curriculum standards but to big ideas in maths.
-Covering everything doesn't mean students learn everything.
-When students finish work have them think deeper, ask them to think of other problems similar to those they have been working on and work on those.
