How to Find & Correct Students’ Misconceptions
Every math teacher has scratched their heads and wondered, "where on earth did they come up with that answer?"
But that's actually a super important question, right? If we can figure out why they arrived at the wrong answer, we can help correct their misconceptions and get them to the right one.
But how exactly do we do that?
We share a few ideas in this video here:
Here at MathLight, we try to point out common misconceptions as often as possible in our pre-algebra and Algebra 1 videos. And we reinforce the correct methods with our accompanying student notes.
Our teaching videos and notes can help in a variety of ways - from flipping your classroom to easy sub plans to helping catch up absent or struggling students and more!
You can grab video lessons individually - or save with units or the full curriculum.
