1. Teachers can use various methods such as observing students' work and using mini whiteboards to check for understanding in math class. Identifying struggling students and providing prompts can help uncover errors in their thinking and provide additional support.

2. It is not necessary for students to fully grasp every concept in math and science. As long as they have the context and procedure, they can still solve problems. Building a strong foundation and providing tools and procedures is important for understanding complex concepts.

3. Understanding abstract ideas in math takes time, and not everyone will fully understand every aspect of a subject. It is important to make students feel supported and successful in their learning, even if they struggle to grasp certain concepts.
