I love so many things about this, one being that it’s reoccurring and not just a one-off, or “checking a box”. I’ve thought of doing something like this but have been hesitant because I don’t know much about mathematicians beyond the Fermats, Euclids, etc.

My apologies for not seeing this post until now! As I read it all I kept thinking was “me too!”, which makes me think the way you were feeling about trying new things is something many teachers must be struggling with.

That’s a tough one. You’re describing productivity leading to self-care. I definitely think we all do this at times, but should we “always” be doing this? I’m not sure.

What you are doing with them this year is going to have a lasting affect as they continue to grow as mathematics learners.

Even in calculus we’re still learning our “ABC’s”, which require practice without context.

The furthest I’ve gone in letting students discover concepts by playing around is using different teacher.desmos.com activities, i.e. exploring what changing the a, h, k values of a parabola in vertex form does to the graph.

What a great lesson to learn from your chemistry teacher – lowering the bar may be a short term gain, but is ultimately a long term loss.

What a great lesson to learn from your former teachers – building relationships and trust with your students allows them to feel safe and willing to take risks in your classroom. Over the years I’ve come to believe that this is step 1 in successful teaching.
