Students need practice. There, I said it. 😉
Meaningful math doesn’t mean eliminating repetition, worksheets, or good old-fashioned skill practice. Sometimes students just need to practice the darn equation.
But sometimes we can give that practice a little more purpose.
In this episode, we’re talking about:
- What good math practice is actually for
- When straightforward practice is the best choice
- How practice can become part of a larger learning experience
- Using my Stained Glass Linear Equations Project as practice with a purpose
Practice isn’t the opposite of meaningful mathematics.
This week’s reflection: What are your students practicing right now—and is there an opportunity to give that practice a purpose?
