Ep 29 – Confident Little Problem Solvers: Encouraging Math Skills for Kids of All Ages

Erin Wahler-Cleveland, founder of Roots and Wings Math, is an educator and mom on a mission to create a positive, enduring math learning experience. Erin joins us today on the Mama Mode podcast to reflect on our own math learning as adults and discuss the importance of conceptual understanding as it relates to math learning for toddlers, preschoolers, and school-age children. As a veteran teacher and school leader, her professional experience helped her to identify areas of improvement for educators and families to encourage more reasoning and conceptual understanding beyond the “illusion of mastery.” Erin talks us through both sides of the equation to understand the student and educator perspective on math learning and how families can support confidence and curiosity in math from a young age.
