This video sent out by the Brant Haldimand Norfolk Catholic School Board highlights how we should be rethinking math instruction. Students should not be expected to simply follow a set of procedures to achieve a desired outcome. They need to be able to show that they understand. We often say that the best way to learn something is to have to teach it. By expecting students to justify and prove their response, it solidifies understanding. Have a look at the video.
