Teachers love Short Answer.

My students LOVED Short Answer… One thing that really surprised me is how motivated some students were by the structure. I had only planned to do one Short Answer question today, but my students loved it so much, they literally begged me for another question! [Another teacher] and I were totally blown away with the amount of engagement AND the impact we thought this was having on students' learning. High school math teacher Sunnyvale, CA
