“We can teach kids differently and get them to love Maths.” Love that!

What a really fantastic video/interview! She is so lovely to listen to. Watching this video felt like I was sitting at her table and just part of a discussion. The interviewer is so good! Really loved this and I have never thought of myself as good at math and yet, I would love to sit in on some of her tasks. I liked her specific suggestions and her resources are really good. I ordered the books that are out and can't wait for the new one. Shared this with my principal and math coach and was told that she came to our district years ago and started what is now called "Math Talk." Really worthwhile interview that feels like you are sitting at a table with a friend.
