Grading:
Demonstrating mathematical thinking is one of the key goals of my class. Mathematical thinking equips students to use mathematics effectively, encompassing reasoning, modeling, and connecting ideas. Therefore, I place significant emphasis on the process, and a major portion of the grading will be based on how well students show their work.Grading:
How do students benefit from showing their process?
How do students benefit from showing their process?
Explaining how to solve a problem demonstrates a deep understanding of the concept and process.
During the process of explaining their answer, students can catch and correct mistakes they made while solving the problem.
Recognizing patterns is a major component of math. By explaining their mathematical thinking, students will begin to identify these patterns.
