#164 How to plan a maths lesson with Craig Latimir

In this episode I talk to fellow maths teacher, Craig Latimir, about his process for planning a lesson... and it takes us 3 hours. But this is one of my favourite conversations I have had on the podcast. It should be useful whatever your level of teaching experience, but particularly useful for those n the early stages of their career. I wish I had had someone like Craig to stop me from making so many planning errors in the early days!
