S3E5: Janice Novakowski - What Math Story Do You Want for Your Students?

<p>What if we changed the way we think about teaching math?</p><p>In this episode of <em>Leading Voices in Education</em>, we sit down with <strong>Janice Novakovski</strong> to talk about building confident, capable mathematicians and creating classrooms where students have the opportunity to truly think, wonder, explain, and make sense of mathematics.</p><p>Janice reminds us that every student comes to math with a <strong>math story</strong> — experiences, beliefs, successes, struggles, and ideas that shape how they see themselves as mathematicians.</p><p>We talk about the power of <strong>math talks</strong>, rich mathematical conversations, listening to student thinking, and moving beyond simply getting the “right answer” to understanding the reasoning behind it.</p><p>This conversation is full of practical ideas for teachers who want to develop <strong>numeracy, mathematical thinking, and confidence</strong> in their students.</p><p>And perhaps one of the biggest takeaways?<br><strong>Math is about so much more than answers. It’s about thinking.</strong></p><p>🎧 Listen to our conversation with Janice Novakovski on <em>Leading Voices in Education</em>.</p>
