    Only two things in the title are true about me. It’s up to you to guess which. 

    I’m teaching grade 8 (and the multiple subjects it entails) for the first time this year, and I want to up my math game. So far I’ve been using the curiosity path as lesson openers, and it’s going well! The kids groan in the most endearing way.

    Welcome Maggie! I bet it’s a good groan! Looking forward to walking down this path with you.

    I assume it is! They’re all accustomed to learning the steps and executing them, so this sort of problem solving is a new experience.

      It can be a long road to helping students “see” that mathematics isn’t about memorizing steps and procedures, but by rather EMERGING those procedures through experiences that generate understanding.

      We are so happy to be on this journey with you!
