Scaffolding Learning Series #3: Error Detection and Correction

The third session in our four-part learning series around understanding scaffolding and its’ role in acceleration. Through today’s recorded lesson, participants will gain an understanding of how strategies that use error detection and correction can be used to support acceleration.

Learning Outcome: Through today’s recorded lesson, participants will gain an understanding of how strategies that use error detection and correction can be used to support acceleration.

This lesson contains 2 videos of teachers using similar, but different approaches to engaging the students discussing errors. The first is shared from The Teaching Channel and is a protocol called, “My Favorite No.”

The second is shared from Inside Mathematics and is a re-engagement lesson using students’ own work to spark conversation. Re-engaging lessons are not the same as reteaching. Instead of going through the material again, the teacher revisits student thinking–addressing conceptual understanding by examining the task from different perspectives. It has a much higher cognitive load.
