Description

This is Day 4 of the Number Sense Kickstart and we are exploring the profound impact of active listening in the classroom. Did you know that in the typical classroom, teachers do 89% of the talking, while students ask only 11 questions a day, primarily procedural ones? It's time to change this narrative and shift the balance toward student engagement. We draw inspiration from educator Steven C. Reinhart’s article “Never Say Anything a Kid Can Say For You.”  We explore his five techniques that are shared in the article. These techniques will guide you on your path to fostering student empowerment and deep mathematical understanding. So, are you ready to transform your math classroom? Tune in to learn how to empower your students and truly understand their mathematical thinking. Day 4's tip is simple yet impactful: "Stop Talking & Start Listening." Find practical strategies and resources on our Kickstart page to kickstart this transformation here: BuildMathMinds.com/10Day-kickstart

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.
