Error Blog

This was somewhat of a difficult activity as we were to assess student errors with working with mathematical problems, but were not able to actually have access to students that we could question for their reasonings that were not particularly displayed in the work. This activity did make me realize once again, however, how difficult it is to understand students' work and errors. We have practiced with work like this in the past while working with the NAEP problems and rubrics, but it is still noted that this is something to be practiced a great deal before going into the classroom. This activity was also a reminder that a teacher must understand the students' thought processes to give quality feedback that can be followed up with all of the student in the classroom to deepen understanding.
