Episode 66 - Jump-start Math Class with Daily Routines

Welcome fellow Recovering Traditionalists to Episode 66.  Today we are talking about how to Jump-start Math Class with Daily Routines. I’m so excited that John is coming back this year to the present at the Build Math Minds Virtual Math Summit!  John presented back in 2018 on Using Evidence to Find Misconceptions and Do Something About Them so those of you who are members of the Build Math Minds PD site go into the Virtual Math Summit area of the site and click on 2018, you will find John’s session in there. If you haven’t registered for this year’s Virtual Math Summit make sure you go to buildmathminds.com/virtual-math-summit to get your free registration.  John will be sharing some of his favorite number sense routines that are in his new book Daily Routines to Jump-Start Math Class and in today’s podcast I’m sharing a little snippet from that book.  buildmathminds.com/66

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.
