Boosting Confidence With Student-Driven Math

Excellent video - especially when they did better than all but one Title 1 school. Hats off to the principal and teachers!

This is excellent. I am doing an assignment on self-efficacy at the moment, this fits into it like a T. Thanks so much.

What does this look like in a middle school classroom? With formulas and procedures that students are expected to know, I have found it difficult to let them explore their own thinking

You are quite right. It is difficult and quite different as the curriculum is more complex and beyond the basics. However, I think that provided that students begin working independently from a very young age, the more independent they will be in the future as well. Learning basic strategies of problem solving at kindergarten is very important!
