269: Bringing the Power of Debate to Math Class
About this episode
Chris Luzniak discusses how incorporating debate into math teaching can enhance student engagement and learning.
Have you ever watched students sit completely silent in math class, only to come alive the moment they're asked to share an opinion? That's what inspired my guest Chris Luzniak to start bringing debate into his math teaching — and the results have been remarkable. In this episode, Chris walks us through how he turns ordinary math questions into debatable ones, how he gets students making and defending arguments, and why he thinks this approach matters now more than ever. It's a conversation that will make you rethink what math class can look like. ___________________________ Thanks to Listenwise and Erikson Institute for sponsoring the episode.
