How can you create an environment more supportive of diverse interpretations?

There are two ways to create an environment that is more supportive of diverse interpretations. These two can either be used together or independently. The first is to encourage the solving of problems as a group. Usually, issues are hardly solved by one individual but by a group. Thus, through collaboration, the members can borrow from, reason out, and interrogate problems and potential solutions from different points of view. This is because various group members, mainly if the group is diverse, have different perceptions and meanings of the problem. The second way to develop such a supportive environment is to encourage the use of theoretical and practical perspectives. Examples, in this case, include the Eight Mathematical Standards addressed through the Common Core and Polya’s four-step process.
