	Description:		Today we speak with Aubrey McKelvey, a 7th & 8th grade teacher from Nashville Tennessee. Like many middle schoolers, Aubrey's students are tuning out and demanding the “fast food” version of math class. Her students want to skip understanding and go directly to the **how. In this episode we’ll uncover the real issue behind this lack of engagement and help Aubrey with some next steps. This is another Math Mentoring Moment episode where we talk with a member of the Math Moment Maker Community who is working through problems of practice and together we brainstorm possible next steps and strategies to overcome them. You’ll Learn Answers To: What to do to help students apply their learning to a new or different context; How to craft a productive struggle that students will want to engage in; Why slowing down and “breadcrumbing” students into your lesson is crucial to spark curiosity and fuel sense making; and, Tips to implement the Curiosity Path in your lessons each day.
