Episode 78 - Looking for the CAN DOs in Math

Welcome fellow Recovering Traditionalists to Episode 78.  Today we are talking about Looking for the CAN DOs in Math. In today’s episode you get to listen in on a conversation I got to have with an alumni of my online course, Amy Warren.  Amy is an elementary special education teacher.  We discuss all kinds of topics from looking for the things kids CAN DO to how to do assessments with young kids, even if you are doing virtual school.  Go to buildmathminds.com/78 to get links to everything we mention in this episode.

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.
