This week we speak with Camden King, a high school mathematics teacher from Redmond, Oregon. Camden is teaching his diverse “proficiency lab” class and is striving to make gains by anticipating what students might do during a lesson and building an intentional inventory of questions to breadcrumb them along their journey.This is another Math Mentoring Moment Episode where we speak with a member of the Math Moment Maker Community where together we brainstorm strategies and next steps for teachers to overcome pebbles they have in their shoe by growing all six parts of their Mathematics Program.You’ll Learn: How teaching in a mainstream, tier 1 mathematics classroom differs from teaching in a tier 2 or 3 setting;How estimation can unveil a wealth of assessment data about your students so you can shape your lessons; Why the struggle prompt takes the main stage when working with students who have had significant struggles in mathematics; and,Why the anticipation phase of planning your lessons in any mathematics classroom is essential to reduce the amount of improvisation and increase the posing of purposeful questions.Resources: Hot Chocolate Problem Based UnitBear Building Problem Based UnitMathigon’s Polypad ManipulativesTake the Make Math Moments Math Program Assessment Tool [Classroom Teacher & Leader Versions]Join the Academy - Free for 30 DaysDistrict Leader Resources:Take the Make Math Moments Math Program Assessment Tool The Make Math Moments District Planning Workbook [First 3 pages] Learn About Our District Improvement ProgramAre you a district mathematics leader interested in crafting a mathematics professional learning plan that will transform your district mathematics program forever?
