Ep 273: Conceptual Understanding... Then Algorithms
Update: 2025-09-09
Description
Is the goal of math class all about getting answers? In this episode Pam and Kim discuss how their work differs from those who promote traditional math classrooms and even some conceptual inquiry based classrooms.
Talking Points:
- Teaching algorithms as the goal is detrimental
- What is the goal?
- Teachers need their own math learning experiences
- We want students to own relationships to develop strategies that they will use in math class and throughout life
