In this episode, we discuss the intrigue of problem solving in mathematics, the need to supervise calculator use in the classroom correctly, why an 18 inch pizza is usually a better deal than some people think, teaching Mathematics like English is taught, supporting students as they struggle though new mathematics, and what happens to a butterfly when you cut open the chrysalis.

This is the first in a series of conversations about student centered teaching between long time mathematics educator Jack Albers and his former student, Dr. Jamie Weigandt.
