About this episode
What is student-centered learning and why should we use it in math?
A student-centered math classroom has students doing the work – the thinking, doing, exploring, figuring out. The teacher is the guide on the side in that exploration and sense making.

- What student-centered learning is NOT (hint: out of control or easier for kids)
- The students' role in student-centered math
- The teacher’s role in a student-centered classroom
- How to plan and facilitate a student-centered math class
