After reading and viewing this, Let's generate some questions for Dan. Click the Edit button and add your question here: - Have you found that this approach has worked for all Math topics? Or have you had to go back to the text book for some topics? - Will this approach be able to prepare students for standard exams (like Departmental finals in Saskatchewan) that are based off of the traditional methods? - Why do you believe that being less helpful to your students will help them in the long run? - This approach should make learning math more fun and have the students engaged in the lessons for a longer period of time then they usually would but the question that I have for you is basically the same as the 2nd question..... Will students be prepared for the standard exams after being taught this way? - Do you think that this concept falls into other subject categories or just math? - Is there many workshops that teachers can attend to learn about and how to teach in this method / appoach? - Would a student who has been taught with this method be able to succeed with the standard math tests? - What, if any, are the biggest downfalls to this approach?

At 7:30 we'll be using another service for Lee Kolbert's presentation. Here is the URL: http://breeze.palmbeach.k12. fl.us/mrskolbert [|This week's recording]
