Micro & Macro Teacher Moves - A Math Mentoring Moment

Making Math Moments That Matter

In this “Where are they now” Math Mentoring Moment Episode, we bring back Jeremy Sarzana, a high school math teacher at a Vocational High School in Boston, Massachusetts.

Jeremy shares concerns over how to keep “flow” in his math classes when many of his students are engaging at varying levels.

Stick around to hear Jeremey realize how to plan beyond the lesson of the day to ensure he’s meeting the needs of all his students.

This is another Math Mentoring Moment episode where we chat with a teacher like you who is working through some problems of practice and together we brainstorm ways to overcome them.

You’ll Learn:

• Why starting with a problem is so impactful for students in a math classroom;
• How thin slicing can be a great tool to help you arrive at your intended learning objective;
• How to engage students with the distance between two points formula;
• How to decide what I should focus on first when designing the structures in my classroom; and,
• How do I ensure I’m challenging my students enough when teaching through problem-based lessons?
