Episode 70 - Implementing Ideas from the Virtual Math Summit

Welcome fellow Recovering Traditionalists to Episode 70.  Today we are Implementing Ideas from the Virtual Math Summit. This past week was the Virtual Math Summit!!!! I wanted to let you all know that we recently extended the free access period to August 12th due to the storms here in the United States and so many people who are without power. You can watch all the sessions over at the Virtual Math Summit main page buildmathminds.com/vms20, but I’ll also link it up over at the show notes for today’s episode at buildmathminds.com/70.  At the very end of these implementation chats, I asked each educator to share ONE THING that they think is very important to them that it gets implemented this year and in today’s episode I’m going to share the clips of them talking about their ONE THING.  Okay, let’s get into it.

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.
