We don’t learn passively.• People are active participants in their own learning.
• We construct bridges between what we are learning now and what we already know
• Misconceptions arise naturally as a result.• http://youtu.be/JqDZqblvOn0
• FOR INSTANCE: A third grader constructs the following “rule” for themselves based on their previous learning: I will get larger number whenever I multiply two numbers together.

There is a BIG difference between a Mistake and a Misconception.
MISTAKES• Computational Errors• Lack of Attention• Careless Errors• Misreading Own
Handwriting• Observed
Occasionally/ Infrequently
MISCONCEPTIONS• Wrong applications of
Mathematical Rules• Incorrect
interpretation of mathematical concepts
• Observed consistently

Why is the consideration of misconceptions important?
• Children construct meaning internally by accommodating new concepts within their existing mental frameworks.
• Thus, unless there is intervention, there is likelihood that the pupil’s conception may deviate from the intended one.
• Pupils are known to misapply algorithms and rules in domains where they are inapplicable.
• A surprisingly large proportion of pupils share the same misconceptions.

Formative Assessment is Shown to be more successful than direct instruction alone.

GET OUT OF YOUR OWN BRAIN!
•Recognize…the rest of the world does not think the way a math teacher thinks.
•…and that’s OK.

Things I Can Let Go….
• No Work=No Credit• Pencil Only or No Credit• Do it How I Told You To • Show the Steps…no, not your steps…the ones I taught
you• “MATH RULES”

TRAINING FOR TEACHERS
•STRUCTURED FAL STUDY•TEACHERS START AS STUDENTS•DEMONSTRATE PROCESS•NO-PRESSURE OPPORTUNITIES TO RUN TRIALS
•USE LESSONS PERTINENT TO THEIR GRADE/SUBJECT

CHECKING WHAT YOU EXPECT
•Make the Expectation Clear: “Non-Optional” Formative Assessments
•Observe the Lessons•Ask for Student Work Samples•Ask to see Analysis of Student Errors
![Page 25: A Vertical Look at Formative Assessment Lessons](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022062410/568160c3550346895dcfede5/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
There will be some initial resistance…
Expect that.

Things to Learn from Our Successes and Mistakes
• Make FAL’s an expectation.• Set time aside to train every single teacher• Re-Train Teachers• Follow up with second time to train every single teacher in
ANALYSIS of STUDENT WORK• Video!!! Praise works better than force!• Provide Materials, Share Materials, House Materials
Centrally• Teachers provide (someone in leadership) dates of FAL
enactment• Ask for feedback from teachers!• Ask for feedback from students!
