  • For many students, no matter their age, math begins with an answer. You then form a question, jeopardy style, to help disguise the number.
  • Most students learn to expect math questions and problems to be short, quick, to the point, solvable and structured around "clean" answers (often related in some way to integer components). They anticipate the answers before they anticipate the questions. I am not sure if they even consider the math.
  • They completely miss the point and the empowering strength of math process and pattern.

    This blog, written by Bill Ferriter (NC Regional Teacher of the Year for 05-06) is also featured on the Teacher Leaders Network. He's a bit out there - hence the blog title - but has some really interesting thoughts.
