I struggle with making the time to reinforce these necessary skills in my classrooms. I get so focused on trying to cover the course content, that I do not make time to help the students to think critically about good problems. Another struggle is being able to find those good problems that are at an appropriate level of difficulty that the students can achieve without getting frustrated, or that take so long that we spend the entire class period focusing on just the one problem. There is no question that this is a crucial topic that needs to be addressed.
