I had never thought about that perspective of it being "freeing" for students because there is not necessarily a right or wrong answer. I was proud of my kids when we did this. I may have to write a blog post about it next semester with some more student thoughts. Thanks for commenting!

We also started with the first shape set. It was very interesting to hear them talk about their ideas--and it was really 'freeing' for them to know up front that I didn't have a 'right' or 'wrong' answer. They were able to share their ideas in a safe place and are learning to talk together about math in a way they haven't before. Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
