Ep 74: Know Your Content, Know Your Kids

Math is Figure-Out-Able with Pam Harris

How can we take what students already know and leverage that to make other mathematical connections? You've probably heard us mention that you should know your content and know your kids, but there's a lot of meaning behind that. In this episode Pam and Kim go in deep on how knowing your content and your kids support effective teaching practices and maximize learning for students.
Talking Points:

• We need to know beyond our standards.
• Why we need to look vertically and horizontally at our standard's landscape?
• How knowing our students can help target their individual zone of proximal development.
