    Rethinking Math Education Part 2: S2 E25
    Apr 1 2025
    Part 2 of 4In this episode, Cheri and Jonily discuss breaking down the essential concepts in mathematics that every student should master, the power of reference tasks, and strategies to individualize learning with less prep and stress for teachers. They also explore how functional skills intersect with math learning and how to make math accessible to all students without lowering rigor.We’ve separated this workshop into four parts.

  • Hidden Math Pattern That Makes Subtraction Easy For Everyone: S2 E19

    Hidden Math Pattern That Makes Subtraction Easy For Everyone: S2 E19
    Feb 18 2025

    In this episode of Tier 1 Interventions, Jonily Zupancic continues the conversation on Three Math Rules That Never Expire, focusing on Rule #2: Subtraction is Distance. Many students struggle with subtraction when taught only as "taking away." But what if we reframed it as measuring distance? Jonily explains how this approach builds number sense from preschool through high school, making subtraction intuitive and transferable across math concepts, including negative numbers, decimals, and absolute value.

    She walks listeners through practical examples, discusses number line strategies, and shares how teachers can improve students’ understanding using subtraction cycles. Tune in for actionable teaching tips and a fresh perspective on subtraction!
