About this episode
In this episode of Math Chat, we dive deep into planning for Word Problem Workshop (WPW) and how to maximize your preparation time. Instead of focusing on what students will do, we’re shifting the focus to how students will engage with and solve math problems. Want to learn how to plan math lessons that encourage deep thinking and problem-solving? Keep reading!
When planning math lessons, we typically spend time thinking about the activities, practice problems, and worksheets. However, to truly empower students, we should focus on how they will solve the problems. This shift in focus—from the what to the how—will allow you to support students in thinking critically, making connections, and understanding math deeply. If you’re ready to revolutionize your planning, this episode will give you the insights you need.
