TIPS ON HELPING

(From cpm.org)

If your student has made a start at the problem, try these questions.

• What do you think comes next? Why?

• What is still left to be done?

• Is that the only possible answer?

• Is that answer reasonable?

• How could you check your work and your answer?

• How could your method work for other problems?

If you do not seem to be making any progress, you might try these questions.

• Let’s look at your notebook, class notes, and Toolkit. Do you have them?

• Were you listening to your team members and teacher in class? What did they say?

• Did you use the class time working on the assignment? Show me what you did.

• Were the other members of your team having difficulty with this as well? Can you call your study partner or someone from your study team?

The student’s responsibilities for learning mathematics include the following:

• Actively contributing in whole class and study team and discussions.

• Completing (or at least attempting) all assigned problems and turning in assignments in a timely manner.

• Checking and correcting problems on assignments (usually with their study partner or study team), based on answers and solutions provided in class and online.

• Asking for help when needed from his or her study partner, study team, and/or teacher.

• Attempting to provide help when asked by other students.

• Taking notes and using his/her Toolkit when recommended by the teacher or the text.

• Keeping a well-organized notebook.

• Not distracting other students from the opportunity to learn.
