Do you ever feel like there just isn’t enough time to let kids play with math? To let them explore the meaning of math word problems before solving them? Today’s guests talk all about a metaphorical sandbox that gives children the space and time to play, explore, engage, represent, and translate these problems into something meaningful to them. We’ll also learn about operational sense, using five different mathematical representations, and strategies to bring back to your teaching colleagues. One definition to note is about Bare number problems. These involve equations without context, such as solving 3 + 5 or 4 x 6. Now get ready to dig into the Mathematizing Sandbox.Support the show (https://paypal.me/kidsmathtalk?locale.x=en_US)

Playing in the Math Sandbox - An interview with Kim Morrow-Leong and Sara Delano Moore

I’m excited to have one of the authors of the series, Math By The Book join us for this episode. The Math by the Book series has a bundle for kindergarten through 5th grade and uses children’s literature as a vehicle for engagement, authenticity, and understanding the value of including context in our work with children to help them make connections about the world. Teachers are always looking to outside resources to build up their collection of activities and relevant tasks. Today’s episode also gives us some background and insight about what makes up a quality resource episode and reminds us that quality is often more valuable than quantity.Support the show (https://paypal.me/kidsmathtalk?locale.x=en_US)

Redefining and Empowering Math Identities - A preview of the Math Equity Conference with Dr. Jamila Riser

It seems like everyone always has an opinion about math and how math should be taught, especially to elementary students. With teachers learning and implementing an influx of new strategies, methods, and assessment plans, parents are often feeling left out of discussions about these techniques and as a result rely on how they were taught as a visual model for how children should be taught math today. Research shows us, however, that rote memorization and solely abstract representations are not effective ways to develop mathematical understanding or build positive math identities. So, how do we get this message across to parents? How do we get more parents involved in math discussions and deepen their understandings about the importance of math tools, practices, and talking about math? Today’s episode explores not only the why, but the how of engaging parents in Kids Math Talk. Host Desiree Harrison interviews authors of the text, Partnering with Parents in Elementary School Math: A Guide for Teachers and Leaders, Dr. Hilary Kreisberg and Matthew Beyranevand.Support the show (https://paypal.me/kidsmathtalk?locale.x=en_US)
