Return of the Worksheet (Kind of)

It’s probably not much of a shock that I don’t often use worksheets. I intentionally don’t provide much of this kind of guided practice or this kind of homework. Not because I’m a rigor-hungry difficulty monster that just wants his classes to seem “hard.”

I believe that all students will rise to the challenges that are presented to them as long as no easier option is allowed. I want them to engage the material, but, at a deeper level, I want them to engage in the meta-cognitive activity of putting that knowledge together. I guess that sounds negligent, but I assure it’s not. It’s that small, but healthy, amount of oh-crap-cornally-isn’t-going-to-pave-the-way-to-mastery-with-rainbows thought process that I’m after.

That said, a student asked me for a trigonometry worksheet today. I kindly obliged. Do you see the difference? He asked because he recognized his need for practice.

That is all.

      @Sam: Valid question, and I’m making a distinction between worksheets as guided (hamstrung) practice and homework (practice). My practice usually comes from the book but I leave it up to them to decide which problems to do, I black out the ones that i know that we won’t cover, and then let them pick.
