The “Inside the Classroom" video crew recently stopped by Alexandra Miuccio's Algebra 1 class at Hinsdale South to check out a lesson about solving range and domain problems. During our visit, Ms. Miuccio demonstrated how understanding and assessing each student's knowledge of the concepts that are being taught helps her challenge them and support their mastery of the material. She spoke to the class about how making mistakes can aid their academic growth and development. She also gave the students the chance to work in pairs so they could learn from each other.
