Just because Jill completed many more puzzles than anyone else, does not mean that we should each try to do it her way---that part of the conversation made me realize that there is a caution we must include when we invite kids to share their approach----we have to be careful not to allow students to think that the fastest, most accurate student's approach is the way to go----because given some more time, each student might find their own best way. That's a tightrope walk for kids who just want to succeed---listen to each other's approach--but don't jump to trying to adopt any one strategy.
