Episode 55 - Teaching Math at Home

Welcome fellow Recovering Traditionalists to Episode 55.  Today we are looking at Teaching Math at Home. Today’s podcast is from a Facebook Live I did recently with Kate Snow from Kate’s Homeschool Math.  We wanted to do a video that helps parents and teachers think about what Teaching Math at Home right now looks like.   We talk about it from the perspective of teachers trying to scramble and give good resources to parents and from the perspective of the parent at home trying to help ensure learning continues. In this video we talk about: Giving Grace and Permission Slips to each other Doing math in your daily life with your kids (measuring, estimating, playing games) Using "what if?" types of questions Don't try to be the expert, take the opportunity to learn how your child is thinking instead of trying to teach them how to solve problems Math doesn't need to be 50 problems: Quality over Quantity If you want to check out the resources both Kate and I have for teaching math at home head over to buildmathminds.com/55
