Agent Shelby Strong (Stop Trashing Math)

🎙Your lesson, should you choose to accept it, is to celebrate🎉 math🔢 in front of your students as a joyful😃, relevant🗺, and inclusive❤️ subject. The special agent🕵🏻‍♀️ assigned to help you with this task is Shelby Strong of New Orleans, Louisiana.

 

In our conversation we discuss:

1️⃣ How “I’m not a math person” is rooted in historical inequities and self-protection

2️⃣ Why the narrative we’ve accepted about math being objective and based in rote memorization is completely false

3️⃣ The joy of disrupting how math is taught and perceived in schools
