And so students that are like that, I try to get them to uh take a step back, show me what you're thinking is.
I'm impressed.
You can do it in your head.
That's really cool.
You need to show me though, and that's an important skill you're gonna have to be able to do out in the workplace.
You're gonna have to show people your thinking because not everyone in the room is gonna follow you.
And also if you force your students that are gifted to go backwards and show concretely, let's say fraction division is one that makes kids fall apart actually.
Because they're relying on the procedure, which is uh you keep the first fraction, you change it from division to multiplication and you flip the last fraction, right?
That's a really easy procedure for them and they remember it.
But if I ask them to do it concretely.
with m a manipulative in front of them, they would not be able to do it most likely.
That too is a humbling experience.
Sure, you have this procedure, that's great, but can you explain the why to someone else?
And so that's a powerful thing too.
And I I think it's important to talk to kids about understanding the why.
Why are we doing this today?
A lot of times in my lessons, we'll talk about that.
Why am I talking to you today about adding two different fractions with different denominators?
When would we apply this?
And really get into the why.
