Description
Dr. Debra Junk, the Coordinator for Mathematics for the Texas Regional Collaboratives, devotes this series of podcasts to the topic of understanding young children's thinking in mathematics. Three major components frame each of these podcasts: 1) how children think about and solve math problems, 2) the kinds of tasks that elicit children's thinking, and 3) how teachers can build a deep understanding of the mathematics they teach. Some of the podcasts in this series feature examples of children's work and a short assignment for listeners to do after they have listened to the podcast. Other podcasts feature interviews with experts in children's thinking about mathematics.
