You already know that we seek for flexibility, efficiency, being clever, and owning a variety of mathematical strategies. But what about grading students based on how many strategies they own to solve a problem? And what does "clever" even mean?  Tune in as Pam and Kim discuss their definitions of "clever" and how we can help students seek for clever math strategies. 

Talking Points:

  • The meaning of 'clever' and how to encourage it in students.
  • How 'seeking for clever' is a mathematical behavior and mindset
  • Caution with requiring multiple solutions for a grade
  • Importance of experience in mentoring kids to represent their thinking 
  • Nudging students to reflect on a strategy they want to do 'next time'
