Episode description
In the last 5 episodes we've laid out the most important strategies for students to be able to solve for all four operations. So what? In this episode Pam and Kim solve a gnarly problem to demonstrate how mathematizing can empower you and your students, and open up to the world of Real Math.
Talking Points:
- How to use the BIG downloadable e-book
- A gnarly problem solved using Real Math
- It's all about efficiency and developing more sophisticated reasoning
- Partial strategies are a great starting point but not the ending place
- Kudos to Pam's research and thoughtfulness
- Why does Pam seem to focus on computation?
- What believers are saying
- Other ways to learn with Pam
- We can make higher math more accessible
- BONUS: Kim's failed attempt at the standard algorithm
