Are misconceptions the same as mistakes? Or something different?

Is it better to address misconceptions or wait for them to become a problem?

Are you confident that you are aware of common misconceptions in mathematics, how they arise and why they might persist?

Need to be addressed and corrected quickly.

Then go through this and why it is not that specific answer (the misconception)

Throughout the lesson - during the practice it and the hinge question. ]]> 2023-03-21 16:50:30 UTC https://padlet.com/kralley2/b99xylii8oufsc0i/wish/2525742810 Pick up misconceptions on the quiz. https://padlet.com/kralley2/b99xylii8oufsc0i/wish/2525745598 On the what do you notice.
