Participants will compare their definition with this one.

Busting Misconceptions is what Formative Assessments do. It is not the M & M process of Mention and Move ON! Kids have to have experiences to help them change their thinking- CONCEPTUAL CHANGE.

Ideas students have developed from everyday experiences.
INTUITIVE RULES:
Rules or gut feelings people use derive answers.
Content students “learned” in school that has been misinterpreted and internalized these misunderstands may go unnoticed through traditional instruction. Intuitive Rules, i.e. reading left to right; measuring always starting at ZERO.
