Define flow, and develop three examples of strategies to achieve flow in an elementary math activity.

What will be an ideal response?


The term "flow" describes the optimal experiences in life, and it occurs most often when people develop a sense of mastery and are absorbed in a state of concentration while they engage in an activity. Examples of strategies should stem from the following: (a) be knowledgeable about the subject matter, show enthusiasm when you teach, and present yourself as a model who is intrinsically motivated, (b) maintain an optimal match between what you challenge students to do and what their skills are, and (c) provide students with both instructional and emotional support that encourages them to tackle learning with confidence and a minimum of anxiety.
