 I remember my frustration

Submitted by Stephen Cooney on Mon, 07/27/2009 - 7:43am.

 I remember my frustration with some math software I've used in the past.  The very rigid expectations of the software did not allow for mathematically correct answers that were not formatted precisely in the manner expected by the software.  Argh!!

One thing that could help is to make clear before the assignment, what we expect the students to get out of the lesson, "After this lesson on scale you will be expected to be able to do_____."  That helps give them a focus for the presentation, whether, lecture, hands-on, inquiry.....  It also helps guide us as we conjure up multiple forms of assessment.
