What lingering here is teaching us
By staying with this question for two weeks, a few things are becoming clearer:
- Sensemaking often shows up quietly before it shows up correctly.
- When students are asked to notice, uncertainty increases—but guessing decreases.
- What we attend to as teachers shapes what students believe math is.
None of this requires new standards or new curricula.
It requires learning to see thinking—in ourselves and in our students.
Closing Reflection: What is one small shift you’re now curious about trying:
- a different opening question?
- more wait time?
- asking students what they noticed before showing a method?
Share it below—not as a promise, just as a possibility.
Next week, we’ll turn our attention to how teachers develop the skill of noticing student thinking—and why that skill changes everything.
