The Build Math Minds Podcast

Christina Tondevold

The Build Math Minds podcast is for my fellow Recovering Traditionalists out there. If you don"t know whether or not you are a Recovering Traditionalist, here"s how I define us. We are math educators who used to teach math the traditional way. Flip lesson by lesson in the textbook, directly teaching step-by-step how to solve math problems. But now, we are working to change that to a style of teaching math that is fun and meets our students where they are at, not just teaching what comes next in the

Episode 121 - Math Problems With More Than One Answer...

The Build Math Minds Podcast ·

2021/12/12

We all know that there are many ways to solve any math problem. But have you considered that there are math problems with more than one answer? While I was getting my masters degree, I learned some valuable lessons from that which I wanted to share with you today. Take a listen as I dive into why it's important to open our minds to the idea that math isn’t just about getting one correct answer.

2021/12/05

As we get closer to the holidays, our time is ticking to get some great gifts for our loved ones. I’ve found all kinds of reading based gifts but sometimes, the math ones can be a little tougher to find. So, I figured I’d try to help out and share some of my favorite math-based gifts that me and my kids absolutely love. A couple of my choices may even surprise you!

Episode 119 - Managing Small Group Work

The Build Math Minds Podcast ·

2021/11/28

Managing small group work when no other adults are around to assist can be a great challenge. Especially considering the vast differences in mathematical understandings educators are experiencing in the classroom this year. So how can small group work be structured to benefit all kids in the classroom no matter where they are in their understanding? The Build Math Minds Facebook group community delivered a ton of super helpful strategies to help answer that question and I wanted to share some of

Episode 118 - Making Thinking Visible

The Build Math Minds Podcast ·

2021/11/21

Thinking is an active and internal process that we should intentionally help our students learn how to share. In order to encourage our kids to share their thinking, we must consider how they (and we) listen, the types of questions we ask as teachers and they ask as students, how ideas are documented, and more. In today’s episode, I get into some amazing ideas about how to get students to share their thinking processes by Making Thinking Visible.

Episode 117 - Why I was gone

The Build Math Minds Podcast ·

2021/11/14

Having your work computer break down on you is one of the worst feelings in the world. Especially, if you forgot to back up all your data. I’ve been absent for a while because that is exactly what happened to me. In this week's episode, I talk about why I’ve been gone for a little bit and why it is of paramount importance to make sure all your digitally stored work is backed up.

Episode 116 - Stop Teaching Strategies

The Build Math Minds Podcast ·

2021/10/10

I want all kids to have different strategies at their disposal to solve math problems. However, the way our textbooks have us teach them to kids is overwhelming and confuses kids. This episode is a clip from a webinar I did recently about The Missing Piece to Elementary Fact Fluency and part of the issue is that we are directly teaching kids so many strategies when instead we need to help kids develop them on their own. If you want help with how to do that in your classroom, come join my online PD

The Build Math Minds Podcast ·

2021/09/26

Recently I did a video over on my vlog about A Big Mistake Educators Make When Building Math Fluency. The mistake is that we directly teach students strategies. Then I was looking through the book Putting Essential Understanding of Addition and Subtraction into Practice in PreK-Grade 2, I came across a section that described a lot of what I was trying to convey in my video just in a different way. Now, I know this is from a PreK-Grade 2 book, but if you are an upper elementary teacher, as I read

2021/09/19

In this week’s podcast, I’m sharing the story of the single thought that was running through my head as I sat through Pre-Calculus so that I could get a math endorsement added to my elementary ed teaching license: “how in the heck is this supposed to make me a better 6th grade teacher?!?!?”

2021/09/12

The final step towards building your students’ fluency is deciding HOW you are going to implement these ideas into your classroom. I am not going to detail out exactly how you should do that. That’s not what I believe we should do for teachers just like I don’t believe that’s what we should do for our students in math. We should NOT make everyone do it the same way. Every classroom is filled with kids of varying needs and abilities. Every classroom has a teacher with their own teaching style. So

Episode 111 - Fluency is the By-Product of Flexibility

The Build Math Minds Podcast ·

2021/09/05

Typically on this podcast I share things that other people have written because I want to encourage you to go learn from the original sources that I have learned from. But today I want to share something I wrote with you. Fluency is a big focus of mine, so much so that I have full online PD courses that I’ve created for teachers to learn how we build students’ fluency. How we build it is actually through building students’ flexibility...that’s why I called my courses The Flexibility Formula. To

As a Recovering Traditionalist I want you to know that I don’t have it all figured out and it’s okay that you don’t either. I’m still refining my understanding and teaching and it’s been over 17 years I’ve been working on changing my teaching. So I’m going to start doing a different type of podcast episode every once in a while. I’m calling them my ‘wonderings.’ So today I’m Wondering About The Use of the word ‘AND’ in Math. buildmathminds.com/109
