How To Create An Authentic Math Class
In this Math Mentoring Moment Episode, we speak with Jonathan Lind, a high school math teacher currently teaching at an American school in Qatar! Over his career, he has been working to build a more authentic math classroom starting with assessment as he leverages the power of problem solving and communication..
This is a Math Moment Maker Reflection episode where we talk with a member of our fantastic community who is working hard to continue reflecting and refining their practice to Make Math Moments with more students in their math classroom.
You’ll Learn:
- How you can organize and synthesize different pedagogical “moves” while embedding them in your classroom;
- How focussing on assessment first can change everything; and,
- What changes you can make to your classroom now so you can build problem solvers and communicators.
