Description:

Today we speak with Janelle Fortmuller, a grade 5/6 teacher from Alberta. Janelle shares insights, key learnings she had around lesson design and planning in her math class. 

Janelle shares her transformation from a teacher who pre-taught all the strategies and algorithms to a confident, flexible teacher who engages her students in problem solving every day. 

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: 

  • How to make connections among strategies when consolidating your lessons
  • Reframing the false notion that we have to show students formulas steps and algorithms before they can solve problems
  • How to get out of the way and let your students demonstrate their brilliance
