In this episode of our podcast, Tracey and Traci talk about teaching math in the elementary classroom. Tracey Bean digs into how she has reimagined math instruction thanks to a new book by Peter Liljedahl called "Building Thinking Classrooms in Mathematics." Traci Gile shares her experiences observing math intervention. We'll also share our tweets of the week and give you this week's reading on our Chocolate Barometer. We hope you enjoy, please like & subscribe today!
