We do not need

need to do it in our heads.

And so I'm constantly saying these things to my students.

They're watching me make mistakes.

They love to call it out on me.

Uh recently I was doing multiples of two with a student and suddenly my brain switched to three in the middle and I don't know what happened.

And it was embarrassing, but we both giggled and laughed about it.

And you know, it just relieves a lot of pressure to be perfect.

And they get this notion of perfection starting around third grade with those timed math tests that they believe, oh

This is what a good math student does.

They do it quickly and perfectly.

And that is the furthest thing from the truth.

We're searching to make students great problem solvers.

Uh, the ability to estimate when they're correct and to persevere through something when it's hard.

Those are skills I think all of us could agree on a student needs.

You know,

it's it's all about being a good example of that.

Um, so often I think some of that comes from parents too.

So you have to be really careful, parents, about what you're showing your kids and what you're expecting from them.

And so they might get that notion that you're talking about that it needs to be all in their head and fast and with precision.
