Student Thinking and Teacher Noticing
The Core Tension This Week:
“I know something isn’t landing… but I don’t always trust myself enough to stop, ask, and change course.”
Students are always making sense of mathematics—even when their answers are incorrect. Teachers as well are always making sense of mathematics-- even when our work feels strained. Teaching is not about correcting first, but seeing first.

  • Student errors are not failures
  • They are signals
  • Signals of what students think the goal of the task actually is
