What is formative instruction?
T @MathManfre defines it this way: "Students come into class and immediately have the opportunity to show how they’re incorporating prior knowledge and insights by applying them to the material of that day’s lesson. That gives me the opportunity to assess their current conceptions from the quality of their work – not just whether they got the right result – and teach directly in response to the questions and observations their work is communicating."

No student lacks knowledge. This is the whole ballgame, folks. xitter.cf/SamAltarac/status/1848…
Replying to @benjaminjriley @ddmeyer
I’m not sure that’s a useful reframe. I think people disagree with what to do for students who lack knowledge. Explicit instruction vs minimally guided instruction is a debate about the role of the teacher not what prior knowledge students have and accessing it…

“Almost any curriculum task can be turned from a mimicking task to a thinking task by following this same formulation—begin by asking a question that is review of prior knowledge; then ask a question that is an extension of that prior knowledge.” @pgliljedahl

Math education is only addressing better pedagogy. It has failed to create an internal vector for learning mathematics is beyond what math and society--and from a competitive edge. What kind of world will we create, and will math have a say? Join me this Thursday! @HumResPro

I love that. The balance of trying to get through all the things while also letting students work at their own pace is tough.
