Episode 224 - Mathematical Residue - What Stuck After the Virtual Math Summit

from The Build Math Minds Podcast · host Christina Tondevold

After 10 years of running the Virtual Math Summit, here's what I've learned: what matters isn't the objective you planned. It's the residue - what actually gets left behind once it's over.  My objective in creating the summit all those years ago was to help you build your math mind…but the residue isn't always something about the mathematics. Last weekend we wrapped up the 10th annual Virtual Math Summit. Over a million minutes of PD watched in just two days. And this week I went through the survey results to find out what residue people were actually taking away. In this episode I share the six themes that kept showing up - from the power of listening to student thinking, to the confidence to just start implementing now even when you don't feel ready, to what the neuroscience of math actually tells us about how kids learn. I also share one form of residue that I never thought about when I started the summit, but it might just be the most important. Sessions are still free through Monday, March 9th at 10pm Pacific.
