Welcome fellow Recovering Traditionalists to Episode 177: Math Misconceptions
Rosalba Serrano and I have been working on a series of short videos about Math Misconceptions elementary students have. I’m sharing the introduction video to the series here on today’s podcast but I’d like to invite you to go over to the YouTube channel: youtube.com/buildmathminds to watch each of the misconceptions videos and share what misconceptions you’ve seen your students have on certain math topics.
Hey there! Christina Tondevold here, The Recovering Traditionalist and founder of Build Math Minds. Welcome to our Misconceptions Around Mathematics Series. This video is just an intro to give you kind of an overview of what to expect from this series and what we’d like from you guys. So in this series you will see videos from myself, you will also see videos from Rosalba Serrano who is a PD facilitator at Build Math Minds but also runs Zenned Math. We decided to do these videos because we’re familiar with some common misconceptions that kids have around certain math topics, but we’re curious if there’s some new things that you are seeing the kids are struggling with as they’re starting to build their understanding of certain math topics.
So in this series we have different videos, they are short, we wanted to keep it short just to give you a sense of what we’re looking for and then the whole idea is for us to be communicating in the comments of wherever you see these videos. We’re going to be putting them on Instagram and Facebook and YouTube, probably even on the Build Math Minds podcast. So we really would like to just use these videos as a starting point to have discussions about what you’re seeing kids struggling with and these misconceptions that they have. So, in these videos you’re going to hear us talk about the difference between mistakes and misconceptions and if you’re unsure whether what you’re seeing is a mistake or a misconception go ahead and put it in the comments and let’s chat about it in there. Please don’t be afraid to share the things that you are seeing that your kids are struggling with because I bet that other teachers are seeing the same thing and it will create this forum for us to have a discussion around what you’re seeing and things that we could possibly do to help kiddos out around those. Alright I hope you enjoy this video series about math misconceptions.
Alright my fellow Recovering Traditionalists, until next week keep building math minds! And come over to the YouTube channel to join the discussion about math misconceptions.
