Episode 4.10 - Where Joel and Misty talk with Dr. Jenny Bay-Williams about math fluency
Manage episode 440375128 series 2921792
Ever wondered what makes a Monte Cristo sandwich so special? Join us on the More Math for More People podcast as we celebrate National Monte Cristo Day with a fun-filled exploration of this delectable sandwich and its (supposed) ties to Omaha (spoiler alert - not true). We reminisce about our own encounters with the Monte Cristo, including the sad demise of a local favorite, and even indulge in some playful speculation about its connection to Alexandre Dumas' "The Count of Monte Cristo."
Next, we're thrilled to welcome Dr. Jenny Bay-Williams, a distinguished professor from the University of Louisville, who joins us to unravel mathematical fluency. Jenny shares her wealth of experience in math education, emphasizing that fluency is much more than speed or automaticity—it’s about reasoning, making smart choices, and choosing efficient strategies for problem-solving. Through examples of fraction addition, she demonstrates how true mathematical fluency involves navigating multiple approaches to find the best solution. This is part 1 of our conversation with her.
