Rethinking Math Education Part 3: S2 E26

Part 3 of 4 In this episode, Cheri and Jonily discuss breaking down the essential concepts in mathematics that every student should master, the power of reference tasks, and strategies to individualize learning with less prep and stress for teachers. They also explore how functional skills intersect with math learning and how to make math accessible to all students without lowering rigor. We’ve separated this workshop into four parts. Look for all four episodes. *************************************************************************** RESOURCES/COURSES MENTIONED Tier 1 Interventions Workshops https://disabilitylabs.com/courses/tier-1-interventions-workshops *************************************************************************** BOOKS Making Mathineers on Amazon: https://www.amazon.com/Making-Mathineers-Transformational-Experiences-Conceptual-ebook/dp/B08NFCZ64K Handwriting Brain Body DISconnect Digital Version: https://disabilitylabs.com/courses/hwbbd On Amazon: https://www.amazon.com/Handwriting-Brain-Body-DisConnect-techniques-ebook/dp/B07N1XB1G7 Both books are also available in paperback and hardcover versions.
