By pinpointing the pattern of

and individual student's
errors, teachers can then
directly teach the correct
procedure for solving the
problem

No students learn the exact

same. Providing an
assessment those students
can answer in their own way
allows the teacher to see
how each learns and
students can feel more
confident in answering.

Stations

Set up different
stations in the room
with different activities
with varying skill levels.

Not all students learn at the

same speed. With stations
and small groups a teacher
can focus on the strengths
and weaknesses of the class.
Solving word problems are
very difficult for some
student. Drawing pictures,
highlighting key words and
creating a thought process is
very useful.

Represen
tation

Use a process model to

guide students when
presenting them with
new problems.
Teachers should focus
on how each step in
the process supports
better access to the
problem. Determine
the goal of the problem
and how to reach it.
Drawings, charts,
graphs, tangible
shapes are all visuals
that can represent an
idea.

Geometry, fractions, and

statistics are just a few of
the areas of mathematics
that need visual aids to
teach a lesson.

Muddiest
Point

Collaborative learning
is a method of teaching
and learning in which
students team together
to explore a significant
question or create a
meaningful Knowledge.
Students identify what
they do not understand
in a lesson and
articulate it. Allows
student reflection
which increases
retention.

Student must have a good

understanding of the
previous work before
continuing.
Students work in groups to
provide different ways to
solve a problem. They work
together as a team.

At the end of a lesson have

students write down
questions they have and turn
into teacher.
