Clip 6/20: Day 4: Identifying positive and negative prior experiences with mathematics
Overview

These experiences inform and influence their mathematical dispositions. On day four, she asks them to share positive and negative prior experiences in math with a peer.
Consider:
What do you hear in the students’ descriptions of their experiences? What do you think your students would say about their experiences learning mathematics in your classroom?
