Guess first:

For grown-ups

Kids learn more when they explain their thinking than when they hear the answer. Sit beside them, ask, and wait.

Ask instead of telling

  • What do you notice about these numbers?
  • How did you figure that out?
  • Can you find another way?
  • Does that answer make sense?

Good habits

  • Praise the thinking, not the speed.
  • Let them be stuck for a little while.
  • Guess first, then check the guess.
  • Try one problem two ways each day.
