4 Things Every Math Teacher Should STOP SAYING

In today's video, we look at 4 things that every math teacher should stop saying, as well as what to say instead.

1. Does anyone have any questions?
Instead - "What questions do you have?" or "I want to hear 3 different questiosn about this topic before moving on."

2. What's the answer to this problem?
Instead - "How did you approach this problem?" or "What's something you tried on this problem?"

3. That's correct. **
Instead - "Tell me what you did here and why." or "Convince me that this is the correct answer."

4. That's wrong. **
Instead - "I agree with everything up to this point."

**Those last two are things to try not to say as quickly or just say less.

I've also got a spreadsheet I put together a few years ago with a bunch more sentence / question stems if you're interested - https://docs.google.com/spread....sheets/d/1FunYgh1NO1
