Join us for a lovely chat with Kendra Jacobs about mathematizing our world around us and bringing it into our classrooms.

Listen in and learn the one simple thing you can do in your classroom to get students to enjoy mathematics instead of despise it.

Kendra is an adjunct professor at the University of British Columbia Okanagan, facilitating ‘Teaching Children Numeracy’ and ‘Numeracy for Diverse Learners’.

She is the founder of Mathematizing 247, where her mission is to inspire and empower elementary teachers to create engaging, joyful, and equitable math opportunities.

She works as a part-time classroom support teacher, alongside educators to support strong numeracy instruction that nurtures the development of joyful, independent learners.

You’ll Learn:

  • The one simple thing you can do in your classroom to get students to enjoy mathematics;
  • Why we as educators need to ensure that our students don’t perceive mathematics as only a societal access gateway;
  • Why picking one particular part of your day to begin intentionally bringing out the mathematics is the best way to start; and,
  • Why leveraging oral language and curiosity can bring joy into mathematics learning experiences.
