Students share rich ideas during discussions and capturing these on the board honors them as mathematical thinkers. Learn to model unique ways of recording ideas, helping students connect their talk to writing. By modeling metacognition, you encourage autonomy, reflection, and understanding of the problem-solving process. This approach fosters equity by addressing diverse learning styles, helping students identify gaps in understanding and become confident, independent learners. Create an inclusive classroom where every voice is valued. Apply these strategies to any curriculum!
