What if we changed the way we think about teaching math?
In this episode of Leading Voices in Education, we sit down with Janice Novakovski to talk about building confident, capable mathematicians and creating classrooms where students have the opportunity to truly think, wonder, explain, and make sense of mathematics.
Janice reminds us that every student comes to math with a math story — experiences, beliefs, successes, struggles, and ideas that shape how they see themselves as mathematicians.
We talk about the power of math talks, rich mathematical conversations, listening to student thinking, and moving beyond simply getting the “right answer” to understanding the reasoning behind it.
This conversation is full of practical ideas for teachers who want to develop numeracy, mathematical thinking, and confidence in their students.
And perhaps one of the biggest takeaways?
Math is about so much more than answers. It’s about thinking.
