Making Math Moments That Matter

Are you ready to transform your math classroom into a space where students see the beauty and relevance of mathematics in their everyday lives?

In this episode, we speak with long time friend of the show Sunil Singh who is here to give you a snapshot of his upcoming Make Math Moments Summit session around the Language of Mathematics. Sunil is an author, educator, and advocate for the teaching and learning of the beauty of mathematics! Stick with us and you’ll hear how viewing mathematics as a language to be fluently learned can revolutionize your teaching. You’ll uncover why contemporary mathematics has been excluded from K-12 math classrooms; how teachers are acting as translators in the language of mathematics and how we can help students become more fluent; and how we can create a community of scavengers in a world of mathematics.

You’ll learn:

• Discover strategies to create "math epiphanies" that foster lifelong curiosity and excitement about mathematics in your students.
