Here is a very interesting article for you to read and respond to before Monday's class:
Dave Hewitt: Arbitrary and Necessary (part 1)
For your blog post, please respond the following questions:
1) What does Hewitt mean by "arbitrary' and "necessary"? How do you decide, for a particular lesson, what is arbitrary and what necessary?
2) How might this idea influence how you plan your lessons, and particularly, how you decide "Who does the math" in your math class?
Enjoy!!
[For those who are interested in following up further, here are Part 2 and Part 3 of Dave Hewitt's series of articles on 'arbitrary and necessary'.]
