Description

Diagnosing a child with a learning disability should never be done via something you learn in a podcast.   So many people ask me about dyscalculia.  I’m not an expert on this, but someone I’m learning from is Ronit Bird. The research around dyscalculia is still so new, and in the book, she says that estimates say around 4-6% of the population have dyscalculia, which equates to around 1 child in an average classroom. To help you a bit more to decide if a struggling kiddo has dyscalculia (and should be tested), Ronit gives a list of indicators that I’m sharing in this podcast. Go over to buildmathminds.com/84 to get the link to purchase the book.

The Build Math Minds podcast is for my fellow Recovering Traditionalists out there. If you don’t know whether or not you are a Recovering Traditionalist, here’s how I define us. We are math educators who used to teach math the traditional way. Flip lesson by lesson in the textbook, directly teaching step-by-step how to solve math problems. But now, we are working to change that to a style of teaching math that is fun and meets our students where they are at, not just teaching what comes next in the textbook. We want to encourage our students to be thinkers, problem solvers, and lovers of mathematics..we are wanting to build our students math minds and not just create calculators. If that is you, then this podcast is for you.
