We want students to be real problem solvers, and we know that means much more than helping them get correct answers. But we never want to put students in a position where they are disadvantaged because they don't know the traditional algorithms. We actually want them to have a much deeper and richer understanding of mathematical relationships. In this episode Pam and Kim begin a series exploring the major strategies for each operation that students need so that they can solve ANY problem that's reasonable to solve without a calculator. Talking Points:Pam's journey from learning only step by step procedures to mathematizingHow this series can take Pam's published books a step furtherHow Kim, and many other mathematicians approach problemsOwnership of the major relationships empowers students with choiceHonor students thinking, but don't leave students where they areGet the download!: mathisfigureoutable.com/big
