When really they understand just choose not to finish.Servitudehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04507500749397126941noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7362097420075354716.post-63740738907702739302011-09-12T17:11:29.757-05:002011-09-12T17:11:29.757-05:00I only take questions every couple days, definitel...I only take questions every couple days, definitely before a quiz, but not every day. This through kids off that had a different teacher last year. (I should say this is only in Geometry that I do this). It has cut question time down, and I will only discuss 1 of each type of problem, so they must choose wisely. I will always talk about problems outside of class time, but this has cut down the time in class. And I only set the problem up for them, I do not solve it. Kids were using that as a crutch last year when they were "too tired to try the problem last night" (their own words). I try to fit it into days where I am finishing a lesson (Lessons that are 1.5 days).ERhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03124846987033083264noreply@blogger.com
