This is Part 3 of an interview series with Barry Garelick and J.R. Wilson about Traditional Math: An Effective Strategy that Teachers Feel Guilty Using. You can read Parts 1 & 2, and the rest of the saga as it comes out, here.
Q3: How does a traditional approach to math teaching offer opportunities for students to learn from their errors and failures? And how does it address struggle?
Barry: Students will make mistakes in math class; that’s unavoidable. Mistakes offer an opportunity to identify and correct misconceptions and common errors, as well as providing students a closer look at…
Just about every summer I take a trip to somewhere new. This year I went to the Yucatán Peninsula with family. One of the main things to do there this time of year is go swimming with the whale sharks.

The southern appendage of Hudson Bay, James Bay – Weeneebeg (Western Cree)/Wiiniibek (Eastern Cree) – spans about 160 kilometers between Northern Québec and Ontario, with the provincial border at the bottom of the bay. First Nations communities spanning the coast and its many branching rivers, long functioned as trade posts for the Hudson’s Bay Company, including Fort Rupert, Québec (Eastern Cree, Eeyou territory), and Moose Factory Island and Fort Albany, Ontario (Western Cree, Mushkegowuk territories).
The largest and most urban settlement in this region is the town of Moosonee, Ontario,…

This post was supposed to be just for math teachers. I was going to share an instructional approach that, as dramatic as this sounds, has taken the math world by storm. The methodology is called Thinking Classrooms, and now that I have gotten a closer look at…
