Eliminating math misconceptions is difficult and merely repeating a lesson or extra practice will not help. Telling students were they are mistaken will not work either.
Recognizing student misconceptions and immediately focusing on the misconception is important. Providing guiding questions using inductive reasoning is the best approach, along with the use of writing prompts which help reveal further student misconceptions.
The Scientific Method, as taught in schools, is a false process and a oversimplification of the way scientists actually work, along with missing the point of how to conduct scientific investigations.
A real understanding of the Nature of Science comes from student personal experience, using simple problem-solving processes that can be discussed and analyzed.
Using the Nature of Science as process for investigating problems helps eliminate many common misconceptions students have about science facts.
The above quote clearly say's it's all about hard work that pays you off for anything, might be hard work can owe you an Olympic gold but I don't guess it can owe you a promotion.
There are too many misconceptions about promotion that doing a good job or an exciting new assignment can get you promotion. Get out of them if that's the case success or promotion is no far from you, but it's not the case.
I have mentioned that you will be getting some insights from my side to gain promotion, to my knowledge updating your skill set and meeting the organization requirement on regular basis is one of the influential way to get promoted.
Teaching math to elementary students is critical for establishing a foundation of success in mathematics. There is a need for some basic memorization of facts, because students who do not memorize arithmetic functions struggle in upper grades.
However, math must be fun and interesting, along with making connections with real-world applications.
