On the podcast, we talk a lot about how asset-based pedagogy, beliefs about mathematics, and how beliefs about who can learn mathematics impacts mathematics teaching. Today’s guest challenges us to move beyond beliefs and theory and move closer toward on the ground practice and a focus on evidence that drives learning forward for all students.

Playing in the Math Sandbox - An interview with Kim Morrow-Leong and Sara Delano Moore
Do you ever feel like there just isn’t enough time to let kids play with math? To let them explore the meaning of math word problems before solving them? Today’s guests talk all about a metaphorical sandbox that gives children the space and time to play, explore, engage, represent, and translate these problems into something meaningful to them. We’ll also learn about operational sense, using five different mathematical representations, and strategies to bring back to your teaching colleagues. One definition to note is about Bare number problems. These involve equations without context, such as solving 3 + 5 or 4 x 6. Now get ready to dig into the Mathematizing Sandbox.

Customer Reviews
I love this podcast!
I am a math intervention teacher and enjoy this podcast. Great ideas and support. I have been listening on my way to work every morning. Thank you!
A great primer for good math teaching
I am a Math Intervention Teacher with a lot of training in math pedagogy, but there’s always something to be learned, re-learned, or refreshed by listening to Kids Math Talk. Desiree is a great explainer of concepts and her passion for good teaching comes through in every episode. I often find myself recommending this podcast to pre-service teachers, hoping they’ll absorb what it means to be an effective math teacher. Keep up the awesome work!
Informative, Approachable and Fun!
I’m so glad I found Kids Math Talk a few weeks ago. I’ve listened to three episodes and have greatly enjoyed the interviews that Desiree conducts, as well as a variety of teacher tips and insights.
