Today we speak with Tom Marker, a 14 year veteran sixth grade teacher from Ohio! Tom reached out to us to tackle the big struggle of trying to convince his students to avoid rushing to standard algorithms and instead value strategies that can be more meaningful outside the classroom.

This is another Math Mentoring Moment episode where we talk with a member of the Math Moment Maker Community who is working through struggles and together we brainstorm possible next steps and strategies to overcome them.

You’ll Learn:
The right balance is between conceptual and procedural strategies.
How can we manage differing student strategies;
How to avoid rushing to the algorithm without devaluing this approach from a student; and,
How calculators can hinder your quest to avoid the rush to the algorithm.
