In this episode, I am joined by our fabulous continuation high school math teacher, Diana Andrade. Both Diana and I attended the California Math Council (CMC) Central Symposium in March and finally were able to get together to have a discussion of the highlights and learnings from the conference. It was, by far, one of the best small conferences that I have attended! Join us as we discuss some new insights from Peter Liljedahl on Building Thinking Classrooms, visual patterns and making meaningful connections from Fawn Nguyen, numeracy "tricks" from Howie Hua, problems strings from Pam Harris and other math teaching gems that we picked up from the conference. We'll also talk about the importance if productive struggle and how Diana uses it with her students at the alternative high school. This is a great (but long) discussion that you don't want to miss!
