    Ep 248: Avoid the I'm Not A Math Person Trap
    Mar 18 2025

    Why do students give up on learning math? In this episode Pam and Kim discuss how using algorithms as teaching tools is distorting students' perception of what the definition of math is, which results in a poor mathematical identity.

    Talking Points:

    • A mysterious five pound bag
    • A proportional reasoning Problem String
    • Trap #1 and #2 (see Ep 246 and 247 for more details)
    • Trap #3 a false definition of math that leads to Identity Definition of Math Trap
    • Read Pam's new book for more information: Developing Mathematical Reasoning: Avoiding the Trap of Algorithms

    Ep 247: Avoid the Digit Trap
    Mar 11 2025

    Why do students not realize their incorrect answers are completely unreasonable? In this episode Pam and Kim discuss another trap students fall into when taught to mimic algorithms as 'the way' to solve problems.


    Talking Points:

    • The patterns in Remove a Friendly Number Over strategy
    • Important place value conversations
    • How students can be stuck dealing with only digits rather than magnitude
    • Reasonableness, or "Ish", numbers
    • Parsing out polynomials into too many pieces
