Encore of Episode 23: John Bianchette: Why Kids Hate Math and How to Fix It
Listen now
Description
Jump into the Overthrowing Education archives with me in this encore episode! This episode explores why kids hate math and what we can do about it featuring a conversation with John Bianchette of Mathnasium from January 2020 with a recent additional talk to reflect the radical changes that have taken place since then.   In the Trenches, I trace my journey from hating math as a student and defining myself as “I’m not a math person” in adulthood to finally realizing that I actually enjoy math because of the math teachers at Areté Preparatory Academy. I’ll share some of their tips and tools that transform students, too.   Also, The 5-Minute Game Show features a musical parody game you won’t want to miss. It features amazing voice impressionist and artist Barbara Heller. Today’s Fauxmercial, Math-o-matic, features Yossie, Tuvia and me. www.mathnasium.com https://www.mathnasium.com/mathnasium-at-home    https://www.linkedin.com/in/john-bianchette-52404a40/  https://www.facebook.com/mathnasium   https://twitter.com/mathnasium https://www.instagram.com/mathnasium/
