- 5. Engagement Is Empowerment Learning is not accomplished by putting thoughts into a mind, but rather by empowering a mind to generate thoughts.
- 6. How Can We Engage Students? When children gain language fluency, every utterance is a hypothesis to be tested. Students engage in a constant feedback loop with those around them. Why should learning Mathematics be any different?
- 7. Engagement Through Realization An understanding is a learner realization about the power of an idea. Understandings cannot be given; they have to be engineered so that learners see for themselves the power of an idea for making sense of things. p. 113, Schooling by Design, Wiggins & McTighe, ©2007

- 12. Delivering Instruction “Let me explain how a mathematician thinks.” “I’ve shown you the mathematical structure, now go use it.” Engaging With Learning Experience “As you independently solve this problem, you’ll be thinking like a mathematician.” “On your own, you’ll need to look for the structure, and then you’ll use it.”
- 13. Measuring Achievement • What incorrect answers would we expect on a problem like 67 + 26? 83 Student does not regroup to the tens place 813 Student adds columns from left to right 6,726 Student combines both addends 21 Student adds all as single digits 41 Student believes this is a subtraction problem 13 A master teacher would respond differently to 83, 813, and 6,726. Technology should, too.
