Math on the Rocks Ep 39 - Duane remembers to press record. Then he complains.
We talk about the featured speakers who are already lined up to speak at our symposium in March, 2026. The we announce our P2 Conferences which is a series of conferences throughout California specifically targeting preschool teachers through Grade 2. They are indeed MATH teachers…and they deserve their own math training.
Then Duane complains. Cole and Scott listen.
Duane shares that he is currently being treated for skin cancer. The procedure the doctor is employing is significantly improved compared to the treatment Duane would have received 10 years earlier.
How do we apply this to math teaching? The California Mathematics Framework hopes to update teaching practices…but how do we get this knowledge into the hearts and minds of teachers?
