Rethinking Homework


As we rethink the role that homework is playing in our students' learning, we should look at new ways to have our students practice their learning rather than just a set of practice problems each night.  

One idea to consider is a math reflection question for the students to respond to.   Building their metacognition through these written responses has proven to build better mathematical thinkers.  

You might decide to have a menu of questions for students to answer, or you might begin by having them all answer the same question--whatever works best for your students.

Click below to a link of some potential questions.  Reflecting on these ideas each day will help to build the types of thinkers we hope to cultivate.
