My fierce padlet by Mike Castiglione https://padlet.com/mcastigs/yt0488o9svne Made with a bold sensibility en-us 2016-09-07 17:36:52 UTC 2025-10-02 23:01:51 UTC hello@padlet.com When is the best time to engage students in rigorous problems? https://padlet.com/mcastigs/yt0488o9svne/wish/127967006  We think that the best time to engage students is after going through some HW. The other time would be to start the day with a rigorous problem.

One can tell when students are working through a problem with rigor is when they are engaged and can explain to you that rigor is happening. An observer looks for work taking place, some collaboration, use of prior knowledge, and senses.

Possibly a preliminary task to prepare them for the next lesson. Breaking student into groups and giving them a project to work on together that allows them to extend their learning on the particular topic. Or having students explain in words how to solve problems.
