Episode 31 - Using your textbook as a guide with Christy Crees

Welcome fellow Recovering Traditionalists to Episode 31 where we are going to get inspiration and information from Christy Crees a 30-plus-year veteran elementary teacher. In these recent episodes, I’m focusing on having you hear from real teachers out there who have made big changes in how they teach mathematics.  All of these teachers have made a choice to put their students at the heart of the learning instead of the textbook. Today we are learning how Christy Crees uses the textbook as a guide but modifies lessons based upon things she has learned about building her students’ number sense. She does talk about my Number Sense course as part of the learning she’s had.  Those courses are now open for 2019 registration you can get all the info at buildmathminds.com/enroll.  Registration is only open for a short time so depending upon when you listen to this registration might be closed.  If so, you can join the waitlist. Again the website is buildmathminds.com/enroll but I’ll also link to it and all the resources Christy mentions at the show notes page buildmathminds.com/31
