I was recently invited on the Complementary Angles podcast to share about numberless word problems. Over the course of an hour we talked about:
- The research that supports the use of numberless word problems
- How numberless word problems empower all learners in working with problem situations
- Advice for teachers implementing numberless word problems for the first time as well as advice for veteran users
- How numberless word problems have evolved over time
- How numberless word problems can be used in remote learning environments
That’s a lot of ground to cover, so they broke up the interview into two episodes. Check them out below.
Part 1:
Part 2:
If you have any advice for teachers using numberless word problems, particularly if you’ve been using them during remote learning, share them in the comments and/or tweet them using the hashtag #numberlesswp. We’re all better together!
Thank you to the ESC Region 11 Math team Faith Schwope, Michelle Green, and David Henson for inviting me to be on the podcast!
