Math on the Rocks

Albert was one of our guests during the live podcast recording Cole and Duane did during the 2024 CMC-South Conference in Palm Springs. Albert also has the dubious distinction of being one of our first REPEAT guests on Math on the Rocks; his first appearance was July, 2024. He celebrates this repeat performance with Two Truths and a Lie. Then we spend a ton of time talking about how to make math education better for our students. As Senior Telecommunications Engineer of Innovamat, Albert has plenty of great points of view to share!

What the heck does a title like that even mean? Casee Andree explains it all in this engaging webinar Cole recorded while Duane was out galavanting around. Casee is the Senior Math content Specialist at Carnegie Learning. In this episode Casee shares his thinking about that characteristics of high-quality instructional materials and how we might prepare for the Drivers of Investigation. 

The Drivers of Investigation are the "why" of mathematics:

   1️⃣  Make Sense of the World (Understand and Explain)

   2️⃣  Predict What Could Happen (Predict)

   3️⃣  Impact the Future (Affect)

Pam Seda joins us for another live recording from the California Math Council South Conference in Palm Spring in November 2024. Pam Seda is one of the authors of the phenomenal book called Choosing to See. It provides the ICUCARE framework for ensuring equity in math education. We might want equity in our classrooms, but perhaps we don't know how to achieve it. Moreover, we might not know how to recognize inequity. Pam drops tons of wisdom on how to achieve equity and recognize moments of inequity. Enjoy this episode.

Steve Leinwand joins us to share his passionate belief that the traditional Algebra II curriculum (heck...all of high school math) often includes unnecessary repetition and outdated content, advocating for a more focused and relevant approach to the material that builds upon strong foundational algebra skills learned in earlier grades, emphasizing real-world applications and deeper conceptual understanding rather than rote memorization. Steve holds no punches!

What a gift the Math on the Rocks community received! Deborah Crayton was referred to us from a friend of a friend of a friend. The math community really stepped up! Deborah knocked our socks off with her take on how to build community by inspiring curiosity. Of course, this doesn't happen without some deliberate moves on the part of the teacher. Deborah shares those moves!

Cathy Williams was our guest for a live recording at the CMC South Conference in Palm Springs. She brings the heat regarding modernizing what good mathematics and mathematics instruction should look like. What should math class in the 21st century look like and how should we support teachers make the transition?

Hilda shows why she is a leader in California on equity and access in mathematics. In this episode, Hilda shares how to value and identify our students' knowledge and skills that exist outside the classroom. And then she shares how to use that information to plan relevant mathematics that students can connect to and build strong math identities.
