Yes! Lean into mistakes. Be fascinated by them - unpack them with your students. #iTeachMath
Students are bound to make mistakes, but how teachers respond to those missteps can make all the difference, a 2024 study confirms.

Rather than ignoring or penalizing mistakes, teachers who dedicated time to discussing common errors saw their teaching efficacy improve dramatically. #EduSky
