Chris Cain continues the conversation about mathematics education using research from the TIMSS, PISA, and NAEP studies. Find out how long it will take student populations to catch up if we continue our current rate of teaching mathematics.

Chris Cain discusses ways to make algebra understandable beyond the symbolism. We must teach our students what the algorithm actually means and the underlying journey in relationship to the algebraic story that is going.

Chris Cain uses real life events, such as shopping at the grocery store, to explain algebraic equations. He emphasizes the importance of discussing the events of the story.

Chris Cain continues the conversation about algebraic equations anchored to shopping. Motivation and engagement is key to moving students forward in their understanding of mathematics.
