Episode 51 - Choral Counting and Counting Collections

Welcome fellow Recovering Traditionalists to Episode 51.  Today we are looking at Choral Counting and Counting Collections. Inside the Build Math Minds PD site, we do a book study a couple times a year and next week we are starting a book study on the book Choral Counting and Counting Collections by Megan L. Franke, Elham Kazemi, and Angela Chan Turrou. This book study is for members only but I as I was reading through the book I wanted to share a section from the book to encourage you to go get the book and read through it yourself.  Many people think counting activities are just for our young learners but this book shows just how powerful Choral Counting and Counting Collections are throughout all of PreK-5th grade. The book goes in-depth on each routine but at the end of the book one part caught my attention today and that’s what I want to share with you. Get all the info here: buildmathminds.com/51

Om Podcasten

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.
