What’s In the Way of Making Students Prove, part II. Friday, Apr 9 2010. I am continuing my thoughts. About Kate’s provocative comment. Regarding why it’s hard to ask students to prove something significant. Kate said:. Or I do say something like Why should that have to be true? Can we come up with some kind of explanation? But they have no idea how to even start and it feels unfair and scary to ask them to. As I said last time there are two big questions here – (1) why can’t they start? Well, I was gett...

I will absolutely stipulate to all of this:. Can we come up with some kind of explanation? But they have no idea how to even start and it feels unfair and scary to ask them to. It would not occur to them to draw a picture and extend the legs and think about similar triangles, in a zillion years. C) The vicious cycle. Wrote about the n...

Saturday, Aug 1 2015. Dan Meyer’s most recent post. Is about how in order to motivate proof you need doubt. This is something I was repeatedly. As usual I’m grateful for Dan’s cultivated ability to land the point cleanly and actionably. Looking at my writing from 5 years ago – it’s some of my best stuff! Totally follow those links! 8211; but it’s long and heady, and not easy to extract the action plan. So, thanks Dan, for giving this point (which I really care about) wings. It makes proving easier. It ha...

Annotated Bibliography on Proof, part I – The Double Bind. Friday, Mar 19 2010. In an earlier post. I made a brief reference to an article about proving that I had just begun to read. I’ve now read it. Patricio Herbst, “Engaging Students in Proving: A Double-Bind on the Teacher” in Journal for Research in Mathematics Education. Vol 33, Number 3, May 2002. It’s available from JSTOR. But I couldn’t find it for free. C) This explains why the teacher intervened to give the key ideas in the proof, why she fra...

And, a teacher shortage…. Tuesday, Aug 11 2015. An obvious observation –. The last 6 or 7 years in public education policy seem to have been characterized by the following trends:. 1) Tying teacher evaluation, hiring, firing, and teacher pay to student standardized test results. 2) Relatedly, using value-added measurements. In making these decisions. 3) School closings and state takeovers. 4) Using VAM in making decisions about those too. Ie Stressing all the adults who work in schools the f*ck out.
