My fearless wall by Laura Jackson https://padlet.com/l_jack2/h4daujb4p81k Made with a curious mind en-us 2017-08-22 21:15:34 UTC 2026-03-12 05:35:38 UTC hello@padlet.com jmichlovitch https://padlet.com/l_jack2/h4daujb4p81k/wish/182302083 This is a daily challenge with many students. They jump right in with a math operation without thinking the problem through.

]]> 2017-08-23 12:33:51 UTC https://padlet.com/l_jack2/h4daujb4p81k/wish/182302083 You have to look at the WHOLE 'picture'. We tend to 'jump' into a solution, before actually making sense of the problem. https://padlet.com/l_jack2/h4daujb4p81k/wish/182302240 2017-08-23 12:34:44 UTC https://padlet.com/l_jack2/h4daujb4p81k/wish/182302240 michlopsla https://padlet.com/l_jack2/h4daujb4p81k/wish/182302287 This is a struggle with many students in math.  They start working on the problem without understanding what it is truly asking them. The teacher did a great job not helping and let the student work through the problem on their own without any hints.]]> 2017-08-23 12:34:58 UTC https://padlet.com/l_jack2/h4daujb4p81k/wish/182302287 Students are so anxious to give you an answer that they just see numbers and try to use them in order to do what they think is expected of them! cosgroveenglish https://padlet.com/l_jack2/h4daujb4p81k/wish/182302712 2017-08-23 12:37:13 UTC https://padlet.com/l_jack2/h4daujb4p81k/wish/182302712 This is a teaching/learning moment! While some people see this as a frustrating video, it can help a teacher decide how to personalize a lesson for students. This is a great task to help determine where students are having misconceptions and based on response to the question students can be grouped and moved into the next task. https://padlet.com/l_jack2/h4daujb4p81k/wish/182302763 2017-08-23 12:37:25 UTC https://padlet.com/l_jack2/h4daujb4p81k/wish/182302763 I see this all the time in elementary during our module application problems in the beginning of the year before I teach them exactly how to begin solving word problems. I love to see their progression through out the year and once they think they are confident with solving them it's fun to through one of these in the mix!! kpassardi https://padlet.com/l_jack2/h4daujb4p81k/wish/182302793 2017-08-23 12:37:33 UTC https://padlet.com/l_jack2/h4daujb4p81k/wish/182302793 This is a struggle with many kids in math. They think every problem must have some sort of solution and the numbers should make sense. So, they just jumble them around until thy have an answer. https://padlet.com/l_jack2/h4daujb4p81k/wish/182302884 2017-08-23 12:38:00 UTC https://padlet.com/l_jack2/h4daujb4p81k/wish/182302884 Many students will look at the numbers and try to make sense of them without thinking of what the question is really asking. https://padlet.com/l_jack2/h4daujb4p81k/wish/182302970 2017-08-23 12:38:28 UTC https://padlet.com/l_jack2/h4daujb4p81k/wish/182302970 https://padlet.com/l_jack2/h4daujb4p81k/wish/182303002 Very frustrating for students to see these problems and not know what to do. Important to go through and teach them step by step.

Students need to attack word problems the same way they attack written texts - what is the question asking me to do? https://padlet.com/l_jack2/h4daujb4p81k/wish/182303123 2017-08-23 12:39:21 UTC https://padlet.com/l_jack2/h4daujb4p81k/wish/182303123 This is https://padlet.com/l_jack2/h4daujb4p81k/wish/182303139 2017-08-23 12:39:25 UTC https://padlet.com/l_jack2/h4daujb4p81k/wish/182303139 This completely spoke to me and reminded me of so many of our math classes! We try to push students to explain HOW to solve problems and plan their strategies rather than rush to an answer. A definite challenge for us as teachers and work in progress! https://padlet.com/l_jack2/h4daujb4p81k/wish/182303170 2017-08-23 12:39:32 UTC https://padlet.com/l_jack2/h4daujb4p81k/wish/182303170 This seems to be a comprehension issue. Students aren't reading the question as a whole. They are attempting to pull out "key words". https://padlet.com/l_jack2/h4daujb4p81k/wish/182303293 2017-08-23 12:39:56 UTC https://padlet.com/l_jack2/h4daujb4p81k/wish/182303293 HOW did you get a video of our math lessons? Asking kids "How do you know?" or "why?" is foreign to many students. Getting them to take risks and build that strong foundation only helps them solve problems as they go through life. It is a skill to be built for sure! https://padlet.com/l_jack2/h4daujb4p81k/wish/182303307 2017-08-23 12:39:59 UTC https://padlet.com/l_jack2/h4daujb4p81k/wish/182303307 mnselis https://padlet.com/l_jack2/h4daujb4p81k/wish/182303368 Sometimes I wonder if kids make these mistakes because they are rushing to get an answer. They sometimes think there needs to be an answer instead of trying to make sense of it. ]]> 2017-08-23 12:40:21 UTC https://padlet.com/l_jack2/h4daujb4p81k/wish/182303368
