Ep 28: Why Doesn't Everyone Teach Math This Way?

Math is Figure-Out-Able with Pam Harris

This week Pam and Kim wrap up their discussion on the Perspectives that Impact Math Pedagogy. Understanding the X, Y, and Z perspectives not only helps us understand one another better, but empowers us to choose to take on the Real Mathematics perspective. Listen in as Pam and Kim discuss the need for mathematics to be experienced, and the power in developing mathematical reasoning.
Talking Points:

• Your perspective may not be the same for everyone around you
• The ultimate goal is Real Math- all people can do more Real Math than fake math
• Real Math offers something for all perspectives
• Where to start teaching Real Math
• What do you do with students that all have different perspectives
• How to lean into the frustrations of students for each perspective
• How leaders can work with teachers with the different perspectives
• How can we all communicate better?
