In another “Where are they now?” episode series we bring back on 5th grade math teacher Matt Makuch from Victoria BC. Matt’s back to talk about the changes he made in his classroom around Vertical non-permanent surfaces, anticipating student solutions, and differentiating his instruction to meet all levels of learners in his class.

This is another Math Mentoring Moment episode where we talk with a member of the Math Moment Maker Community who is working through struggles and together we brainstorm possible next steps and strategies to overcome them.

You’ll Learn:

• How to help the varying levels of learners in your classroom;
• What it looks like to spiral your curriculum;
• How Vertical Non-Permanent surfaces can change your career!
• What we should really be focussing on when we’re planning our lessons.
