Transforming Math Instruction Using a SIMPLE Counting Problem: S2 E6

Responsive Teaching Segment 3

In this Tier 1 Interventions podcast episode, Jonily Zupancic and Cheri Dotterer dive into the transformative power of the Locker Problem for math instruction. They discuss how pattern recognition, interleaving, and experiential learning can unlock students' mathematical thinking and improve retention. The hosts explore how this task can be adapted for all students, including those with manual dexterity challenges, and emphasize the importance of repeated interactions in developing long-term understanding. Cheri also reveals exciting new teaching tools and a holiday-themed subscription box to help students and teachers thrive.
