Six effective #teaching practices: anyone disagree? #ITeachMath
Pairing graphics with words.
Young or old, all of us receive information through two primary pathways - words and graphic or pictorial representations. Student learning increases when teachers convey new material through both.

Linking abstract concepts with concrete representations.
Teachers should present tangible examples that illuminate overarching ideas and also explain how the examples and big ideas connect.

Posing probing questions.
Asking students "why," "how," "what if," and "how do you know" requires them to clarify and link their knowledge of key ideas.

Repeatedly alternating problems with their solutions provided and problems that students must solve.
Explanations accompanying solved problems help students comprehend underlying principles, taking them beyond the mechanics of problem solving.
Distributing practice.
Students should practice material several times after learning it, with each practice or review separated by weeks and even months.

Assessing to boost retention.
Beyond the value of formative assessment (to help a teacher decide what to teach) and summative assessment (to determine what students have learned), assessments that require students to recall material help information "stick."
