This is the 3rd episode of the Honest Math Chat. A place where elementary teachers can come together to collaborate in creating a student centered math class! 

Today we are going to dive into what happens in our math classrooms. We will zoom in on our emphasis on thinking vs. answers in our classrooms and the effects on our math identity. 

  In this episode you will learn:

  • What I mean by "Thinking Over Answers" 
  • Why we have to start valuing our students' mathematical reasoning and thinking more, than finding the solution. 
  • How we can start to re-write the narrative of answers in math class.
