Episode 45 - 13 Rules That Expire

<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Welcome fellow Recovering Traditionalists to Episode 45.  Today we are looking at 13 Rules That Expire.</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">I’ve been guilty of telling my students tips or rules that I thought were helping them get to an answer quicker, because in the past I used to think my job was to help my students get answers.  Now, I see my job of a teacher as helping students make sense and many of those tips had no “sense” behind them. They really were just rules to help my students get an answer.</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">The article I want to share with you today was published almost 6 years ago but so many of the things mentioned in this article are still being used.  I can honestly say I probably would still be doing many of them if I hadn’t read this article - but once we know better, we do better.</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">13 Rules That Expire by</span> <span style="font-weight: 400;">Karen S. Karp, Sarah B. Bush, and Barbara J. Dougherty forever changed my teaching.  Not only do they share the 13 rules but there is also a section about expired math language that we use and they give alternatives to use instead.  This article is seriously a MUST READ. To give you a glimpse into the article I’d like to share with you just one of the rules today.
