Ep 99: If Not Algorithms, Then What? Finale!

Math is Figure-Out-Able with Pam Harris

In the last 5 episodes we've laid out the most important strategies for students to be able to solve for all four operations. So what? In this episode Pam and Kim solve a gnarly problem to demonstrate how mathematizing can empower you and your students, and open up to the world of Real Math.
Talking Points:

• How to use the BIG downloadable e-book
• A gnarly problem solved using Real Math
• It's all about efficiency and developing more sophisticated reasoning
• Partial strategies are a great starting point but not the ending place
• Kudos to Pam's research and thoughtfulness
• Why does Pam seem to focus on computation?
• What believers are saying
• Other ways to learn with Pam
• We can make higher math more accessible
• BONUS: Kim's failed attempt at the standard algorithm
