Research shows that students generally view mathematics teachers as the final authority on mathematical correctness, the sole arbiter of whether or not answers are right. Such reliance is problematic, since students who always defer to their teachers are failing to make sense of their own solutions....

description Research shows that students generally view mathematics teachers as the final authority on mathematical correctness, the sole arbiter of whether or not answers are right. Such reliance is problematic, since students who always defer to their teachers are failing to make sense of their own solutions. Here, Heinz talks about the advantages she had observed when she shifted her mathematical authority teaching strategy from teacher to community.
