Download - Exploring Foundational Principle: “Design a responsive mathematics learning environment.”
“Effective teachers…. know that a wrong answer might indicate
unexpected thinking rather than a lack of understanding; equally, a correct answer may be arrived
at via faulty thinking.” –Anthony, G., & Walshaw, M. (2009)
