It doesn’t matter what subject you teach, differences in students’ performance are affected by how much they engage in the practice. To many, the term “practice” brings about childhood memories of completing pages of repeated random questions, or drills sheets where the same algorithm is used over and over again. “Practice” is often thought of as rote tasks that are devoid of thinking, choices or sense-making.
But practice is not the same as rote repetition. Rote repetition — simply repeating a task — will not by itself improve performance. Practice involves attention, rehearsal and repetition and leads to new knowledge or skills that can later be developed into more complex knowledge and skills.
In this webinar, we will explore:
-What does practice in Mathematics classroom look like.
-What is the difference between Rote practice and Dynamic Practice?
-What are the pitfalls of using rote practice?
