Recently, I taught a sample lesson to a few high school students. In the beginning, they seemed very excited, but as we reached the harder problems, they immediately gave up. I was wondering how I can further engage the students who feel that they don't have a "talent for math"?
A few things that have worked in my classroom include: - Math games are a tried-and-true method for bringing excitement and competition to your classroom. Whether online or in person, math games can engage your students and align to your lesson plan. - If you've got a classroom full of visual learners, then charts, picture books and other visual aids can help them make sense of new concepts and provide reference points as they work. -When it comes to teaching math, modern technology can broaden perspectives and give students new ways to engage with the world around them. -A hands-on approach in the math classroom means finding real-life examples of formulas and concepts, or including student interests in relevant work problems. -Building a fixed math class routine can help students feel settled and confident when math class starts, especially if they struggle with math anxiety.

Which platform do you use for your interim/formative assessment?
Does it have an auto-scoring function?
Do you think auto-scoring is helpful for your work?
