Teaching Learning Leading K-12 Mike Kenny - MathFactLab: Helping to Make Math Easier to Learn - 799
Mike Kenny - MathFactLab: Helping to Make Math Easier to Learn. This is episode 799 of Teaching Learning Leading K12, an audio podcast.
Mike Kenny taught 5th grade for 19 years: 4 in England and 15 in VT.
Mike is the designer of MathFactLab. MathFactLab is based on the idea that pattern recognition makes math easier to learn.
Each year, Mike found that many of his students came to fifth grade lacking basic math fact fluency. Frustrated that the math fact materials commercially available did not match what research recommended, he gradually came to the conclusion that he ought to try creating his own math fact program. MathFactLab is the result of several years of effort, much research, a great heap of advice, many drafts, and lots of trial and error in Mike’s classroom and beyond.
Mike has degrees from the University of Notre Dame, the College of William and Mary, and the Vermont Mathematics Initiative (at UVM).
Our focus today is Mike’s MathFactLab: Helping to Make Math Easier to Learn.
So much to learn and think about!
