My guest today is a passionate math educator who has sought to teach learners in this exploratory manner and in a way that the students feel they are capable of understanding mathematical concepts deeply.

In my conversation with Kevin Moore, we explore:

  • how one teacher helped him begin to view himself as a mathematician
  • his journey from traditional education to the micro-school model
  • how the physical space can foster the learning he hopes to see
  • how it's MORE than just the physical space that helps foster the learning he hopes to see
  • what our roles is and is not as math educators
  • how to redirect incorrect work without just giving away the answer
  • Kevin's favorite questions to ask students
  • and much more.
