Challenges and Confusion in Mathematics allow students to struggle which permits the teacher to explain that it's ok to have an eraser on a pencil to make mistakes in ALG1 and ALG2 at DHS when actively rolling out a lesson plan. (FLucia)

Marlo Warburton:
Last week, we started a new school motto called: Tiger Up! We're the tigers at our school, and Tiger Up! means the opposite of giving up.

Speaker 2:
It's confusing.

Speaker 3:
Yeah.

Speaker 2:
It's not really confusing.

Marlo Warburton:
When students are given some sort of challenge and they feel frustrated or to want to give up, we can say, "You need to tiger up."

Marlo Warburton:
First, I want to see how well you're doing with your struggle time, how much you are tigering up.

Marlo Warburton:
I want students to expect confusion. I don't want them to expect things to come easily all the time. I want them to expect that there's going to be some struggle and then they get past that. They figure it out and that's called learning.

Marlo Warburton:
You can struggle and struggle and struggle and figure things out.
