I completely understand what you're saying here, and as someone that's given up worksheets this year, I get what your student's saying too. Here's the thing: shouldn't we always be encouraging students to think? If the worksheet is "easier," and doesn't allow this to happen, why use it? Maybe students need to see that be it a worksheet or an iPad, that this thinking and problem solving are things to celebrate. <br><br>When I started the year, my students struggled with the additional thinking that comes along with meaningful math. Now though, they embrace it! My principal and vice principal have been great with coming by and giving students "hard questions" that force them to think more. And when we last shared our math work in class, students were actually disappointed that they couldn't come because they wanted these "hard questions." How do we get all students to see the value in thinking? This has been a big wonder of mine lately, and I'd be curious to hear what others have to say ...<br><br>Avivaadunsigerhttp://adunsiger.wordpress.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3790648314126186983.post-86216309958740325542014-04-22T22:14:35.402-04:002014-04-22T22:14:35.402-04:00Oh, yes....not only is it deeper thinking for a st...Oh, yes....not only is it deeper thinking for a student, but it requires more thought and preparation for a teacher.
