Location: Lafayette | One of my regular struggles in Advanced Geometry is the lack of sufficient time to fully discuss homework proofs. While students get complete feedback for every proof they write, the discussion we have as we work through a proof together is where the process starts making sense to students. Even with limited proof problems assigned for homework we only have time to walk through one of the homework proofs and just do a quick check of the others. Sometimes of course I pick a proof that I anticipate students will have the most trouble with but this year with my frequent use of the CPS system to formatively assess students I found a better way! With a quick numeric response verbal question, I have students send me the number of the proof they had the most trouble with. The proof with the most responses is the one we discuss. Duh! Why didn't I think of it before?! |
