Math Knights

Abby Mazzoni shares a problem-solving project that has taken her students across the curriculum and across the country. She integrates problem-solving, map skills, research skills, public speaking, technology and a global audience into her classroom.

What if Math were a team sport? On this podcast, Ron Martiello makes an argument for students to work more collaboratively in teams. After listening to this episode, we would like to hear how you make math a team sport in your class. Share with us on Twitter at #NPMathKnights.

Fran Margolis, 6th Grade Teacher from Bridle Path Elementary School, joins our Math Knights Podcast. She will share her classroom experiences in collaborative problem solving and Standards of Mathematical Practices.

Learning is not always neat and clean. Learning is messy and there are many different pathways for students to get to their desired outcomes. In this episode we will discuss 'Teacher Agility' and how educators can navigate through the many needs of the class and adjust course as needed for all students.

In this episode, we will resolve the myth of rigor. Many teachers think rigor is about giving harder math problems. Rigor can bring balance back to math, make student learning visible, and empower students to be better problem solvers.

In this episode we will discuss the shifts in the Common Core when it comes to Math. 1. Greater Focus on Fewer Topics 2. Coherence 3.
