Cultivating Capable Mathematicians with Math Workshop
In what ways might Math Workshop foster a joyful scuffle and a thinking rally that develops capable and agentic mathematicians?
Join Wendy Ward Hoffer as she sits down with Michelle Morris Jones on PEBC’s Phenomenal Teaching Podcast to discuss her newest book, All Minds on Mathematics, and the intricacies of Math Workshop.
In this episode, Wendy and Michelle explore how problem solving, number sense, conceptual understanding, and productive dispositions form the foundation of capable mathematicians. But the conversation goes beyond the “what” to dive into the “how.” Wendy shares her perspectives on how Math Workshop provides the time and space for learners to grapple with new ideas, tackle challenging problems, and discuss their mathematical thinking. She also unpacks each component of a Math Workshop, offering practical ideas for planning, developing worthy tasks, scaffolding up, and conferring.
Wendy offers both practical insight and opportunities for deep reflection. All Minds on Mathematics is more than a professional resource, it’s a companion and steady whisper of encouragement for every math teacher striving to reach all learners.
