This powerpoint presentation is designed to be used along with the worksheet GWA ATMNYC Using Good Wrong ANswers to Build Math Confidence and Success. It shares the same strengths as the worksheet and contains the same weaknesses. The principal strength is the sheer sensibleness of the undertaking. It’s an excellent idea to build on wrong answers to help reach right answers, if only because students need to be encouraged to try, even if they fail. However, as a stand-alone lesson, it leaves out a lot and doesn’t teach what it shows. It cannot stand alone.
