Different Continents, Same Challenges: Learning Lessons from American Mathematics Teachers.

from Strength In Numbers Hosted by Allan Dougan

The maths education pedagogy war, the role of questioning, inquiry based teaching, pedagogical paralysis, developing students who appreciate mathematics, and more. President of the American NCTM and 8th grade teacher of over 25 years, Kevin Dykema, and AAMT’s own president and maths education academic, Catherine Attard, join Allan to talk about the challenges universal to mathematics teaching regardless of hemisphere. They explore methods to choose the right pedagogy for the right moment, how there is no single cure-all solution to mathematics teaching, the seven key components of explicit teaching, lessons to learn from other teachers, and how students will show up in class the way they are and as teachers we must meet them there.
