    We viewed the first tape and found the interaction between the kids to be
    very
    interesting particularly when they had the wrong answers and did not seem
    to feel a
    need to explain it to each other even though the numbers were different,.
    In the case
    of the two girls, they had the same wrong answer and never knew that it was
    wrong.
    As long as it was done, they were satisfied.

    I struggle with how to raise the quality of my students work without giving
    them the
    answers either in the back of the book, doing them with them or by reading
    them off
    up front.

    I do like the focus on process that this study seems to keep. I look
    forward to the next
    viewing.

    Is anyone else out there doing this class this semester?
