    Description

    Welcome fellow Recovering Traditionalists to Episode 91.  Today we are taking a look at Teaching Math for Understanding. In last week’s podcast I briefly mentioned The Flexibility Formula.  The Flexibility Formula are the pillars of math instruction that help us be able to build students’ flexibility with mathematics.  In this week’s podcast I want to dive a bit into one of the pillars: Understanding.  Get any links to resources mentioned in this podcast here: buildmathminds.com/91

    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.
