Crafting a Productive Math Struggle in Your Math Classroom
Manage episode 346332912 series 2471185
In this episode we speak with veteran Grade 8 classroom teacher, author and current NCTM President, Kevin Dykema.
Kevin spends time with us to unpack why productive struggle is a necessary part of an effective mathematics program, what we can do now to plan and implement lessons that place students in a productive struggle and how we might get key stakeholders convinced that learning in a math classroom that might look different than the one they remember can be a good thing for students.
You’ll Learn:
- What can you do differently than teaching math just “slower and louder”;
- Why productive struggle is a necessary part of an effective mathematics program;
- What you can do now to plan and implement elements of productive struggle;
- How to ensure a lesson crafted to provide a productive struggle is delivered with productive struggle (instead of the teacher robbing the thinking of students);
- How to help families and key stakeholders get “on board” with teaching through productive struggle; and,
- What resources are great for modifying your lessons to allow for more productive struggle.
