Listen Later

Join math professor Anna Stokke as she interviews Dr. Amanda VanDerHeyden, a leading expert in using evidence-based methods to improve math instruction in schools.  Dr. VanDerHeyden is a co-founder of The Science of Math, a group of experts advocating for evidence-based math instruction. 

Dr. VanDerHeyden shares the origins and goals of the Science of Math movement, as well as addressing common misconceptions. Do timed tests cause math anxiety?  Do standard algorithms hinder understanding?  Is explicit instruction only helpful for struggling learners?  The discussion also covers what happens when kids fall behind in math, among other topics. 

This episode is a must-listen for anyone interested in education, especially teachers and parents.
