Think back to your time as a student learning math. Many of us went through math class afraid to get the wrong answer or bogged down by limiting beliefs about our ability to do math well. How, then, do we create new math communities that are brave spaces where students feel safe to take risks and learn new things?Today we are passing things over to Kent Haines. Kent is a Heinemann Fellow Alum and middle school math educator. He is joined by Ilana Horn, author of Motivated: Designing Math Classrooms Where Students Want to Join In. Kent and Ilana talk about building a risk-taking community, acknowledging different strengths, and fostering learning relationships with students. See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
