No wonder they are afraid to try new things. Doing these activities is a great way to get them thinking, but we need to help them learn to be confident in their own ideas, to persevere through frustration, and to love challenge rather than safe answers. Many students have never had to do those things in a math class before, unfortunately. Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
