Edutopia – Rachel Fuhrman
“When I walk into a math classroom, I can almost guarantee that I’ll see a teacher guiding students through a problem at some point during the lesson. In many cases, this sounds like the teacher explaining each step and modeling it for the students. While such modeling can be helpful to introduce a new topic, far too often I see math teachers relying on this strategy for all problems they complete during class. If students do not actively force their way into the process by asking a question, they are left to simply observe.” (more)
