How To Engage The Disengaged - A Math Mentoring Moment

<p><b>Today we speak with Robert Barth, a high school math teacher from the South side of Chicago. Robert shares his experience with teaching with the original flipped classroom model and how he’s morphed it over the years to incorporate Peter Liljedahl’s work on Building Thinking Classrooms and the Make Math Moments “Real” Flipped Classroom approach incorporating teaching through task. </b></p><p><b><br/>Listen in as Robert wonders how to engage students who give push back when working in groups and sharing their thinking. You’ll hear about teacher moves you can make to motivate students who seem to be unwilling to engage and how to balance your class time between “group thinking” and “individual thinking”. </b></p><p><br/></p><p><b>This is another Math Mentoring Moment episode where we chat with a teacher like you who is working through some problems of practice and together we brainstorm ways to overcome them. </b></p><p><b><br/></b><br/></p><p><b>You’ll Learn: </b></p><ul><li><b>Why the “double-flipped” classroom model might be helpful for those who have struggled to implement problem based lessons in the past;</b></li><li><b>Why taking the time to be explicit with students as to why we do what we do in math class; </b></li><li><b>The teacher moves we can leverage to motivate students who seem unwilling to engage;</b></li><li><b>Why too much “group-think” time can may limit the necessary “individual-think” time that students need to individually reflect; and,</b></li><li><b>How we can incorporate routines to intentionally promote the development of relational trust in our mathematics communities.</b></li></ul><p><br/></p><p><b>Resources: </b></p><p><br/></p><ul><li><a href='https://amzn.to/3qTLekM'><b>Quiet - Susan Cain [Book]</b></a></li><li><a href='https://makemathmoments.com/episode204/'><b>Episode 204: How To Craft Mentoring Moments - Jim Strachan</b></a></li><li><a href='https://learn.makemathmoments.com/tasks/'><b>Make Math Moments Problem Based Lessons &amp; Units</b></a></li></ul><p><br/></p><p><b>Di
