Description

Mathematics is so much more than just getting the answers.  Answers are important, but that really doesn’t tell you what your students UNDERSTAND about math, it only tells you what they can DO.   If you want to see what your students understand there are 8 number sense concepts that are the root of understanding numbers.  It’s Day 2 of our Number Sense Kickstart and in today’s episode Christina Tondevold is detailing each of those 8 number sense concepts.  This is the longest video of our Kickstart and if you’ve taken Christina’s online course for teachers, The Flexibility Formula, you already know this information and can skip today’s episode and just do the tip for today: Determine what your students actually need to understand to do the lesson for tomorrow.  If you haven’t heard of these 8 number sense concepts before, take a listen.

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.
