The Build Math Minds Podcast

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.

    The Count - Uncovering Mathematical Structure in Elementary Classrooms

    The Count is an activity from John SanGiovanni's book that turns simple counting into a deep mathematical exploration. In this episode, learn how this routine helps elementary students engage with Math Practice #7 by looking for and making use of mathematical structure. We'll break down how a seemingly simple counting sequence can develop number sense, encourage mathematical thinking, and create a low-pressure environment for pattern recognition.  Key Takeaways: Learn what "The Count" activity is and how to implement it Understand how counting can develop deeper mathematical thinking Questions to help students look for and use the patterns created by the structure of numbers  To see this episode instead of just listen, go to https://www.youtube.com/BuildMathMinds  To get any links mentioned in the episode go to: https://buildmathminds.com/183   Get the special offer to join the Build Math Minds PD site at https://buildmathminds.com/special

    Exploring Patterns Through Number Routines

    The predictability of mathematics is one of the things I love about math. There are some great activities you can do in your classroom with your students to help them see & USE that predictability.  Last week I shared one (Leaping Numbers) and this week I’m sharing another: Finding One and All.  This is a great number routine that is similar, yet different, to Number Strings and is a wonderful way to get your students engaged in Math Practice #7: Look For and Make Use of Structure.  To see this episode instead of just listen, go to https://www.youtube.com/BuildMathMinds  To get any links mentioned in the episode go to: https://buildmathminds.com/181   For Build Math Minds Members, log in here to access the done-for-you routine: https://pd.buildmathminds.com/  If you aren’t a member you can join here: https://buildmathminds.com/bmm/

    A Math Hack That Isn’t a Hack

    Math tricks or hacks are everywhere, but which ones should you actually use with your students?  I came across one this week on social media and thought I’d use it as an example to give you some ideas on how to approach the use of math tricks in your classroom.  To see this episode instead of just listen, go to https://www.youtube.com/BuildMathMinds  To get any links mentioned in the episode go to: https://buildmathminds.com/179

    Students who struggle with Less Than problems

    This week’s episode comes from a question that was sent in about helping students who struggle with math problems that are written differently than kids typically see them.  These types of “less than” math problems are strange because kids don’t often encounter them in that way even in their own lives.  I’m giving you two tips to help students so that these types of problems aren’t so difficult for them.  To see this episode instead of just listen, go to https://www.youtube.com/BuildMathMinds  To get any links mentioned in the episode go to: https://buildmathminds.com/178

    Math Misconceptions

    Math Misconceptions might just look like mistakes that your students are making, but they are usually slightly different.  Mistakes happen when we don’t remember, or remember incorrectly, whereas Misconceptions are rooted in understanding…we believe this is the way it is.  Mistakes happen from time to time, and are usually not anything to get too worried about.  But Misconceptions stem from a person’s understanding of something and if it isn’t addressed it will forever be misunderstood.  In this episode I’m introducing you to our series of short videos we have put together to start a conversation about math misconceptions kids have in the elementary grade.

    Avoiding the Trap of Algorithms

    In this episode I’m introducing you to a not-yet-released book about the traps of math algorithms, but it’s actually so much more than that.  It’s about women supporting women and lifting someone up when you see they are doing good instead of trying to tear them down.  To see this episode instead of just listen, go to https://www.youtube.com/BuildMathMinds  To get any links mentioned in the episode go to: https://buildmathminds.com/176
