Math is Figure-Out-Able!

Pam and Kim went to NCSM and NCTM in Atlanta! In this episode, they share some of their favorite moments, biggest take-aways, and new insights gleaned from the sessions they attended and the people they met.
Talking Points:

• Discussing the meaning of "algorithm" with Sarah Bush and Karen Karp, authors of The Math Pact
• Importance of talk moves and listening moves, with Elham Kazemi and Allison Hintz, authors of Intentional Talk And Listening
• The joy of celebrating someone else's learning from Vanessa Vakharia
• How the Science of Reading does not correlate or correspond with what the people who call themselves the Science of Math are suggesting
• The importance of Affirming Learning Walks
• Clarifying the meaning of the word "procedural", as in "procedural fluency"
• The misleading nature of much of the math research currently being approved by What Works Clearinghouse
• Shout-out to James Tanton for being intellectually curious!
