Listen "Reimagining Math Education in America"
Episode Synopsis
In this episode of Education Insight, we sit down with Latrenda Knighten, President of the National Council of Teachers of Mathematics (NCTM), to explore the state of math education in America. With more than 30 years of experience helping students and teachers fall in love with math, President Knighten shares what’s capturing her attention nationally, how students are recovering post-pandemic, and why so many learners still struggle with foundational skills.She discusses what it truly means for students to see themselves as “math people,” how schools can make math more relatable, what we can learn from top-performing countries, and whether California’s revised Mathematics Framework is a step in the right direction.If you care about math education, equity, or student confidence in the classroom, this conversation is full of insight and hope.
