In this episode of Tier 1 Interventions, Cheri Dotterer and co-host Jonily dive deep into the Candy Problem—a discussion that exposes the failures of traditional math instruction. Kirk and other passionate educators join this four-part series. They explore the neuroscience of learning, why manipulatives are crucial, and how math instruction must evolve. If you've ever wondered why so many students struggle with math or how we can make lasting changes, this episode is a must-listen! Sit back and listen to Part 3.****************************************************************************DisabilityLabs.com sponsors this video podcast.
