Rethinking Math Education Part 4: S2 E27

Part 4 of 4In 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.
