This week we sit down with problem creator, national presenter, and now author, Robert Kaplinsky. In this tip-filled episode we chat with Robert about how to implement problem based lessons so kids high 5 each other, how we can squeeze open middle problems into our routines and why we should, and finally we chat about Robert’s mission to provide great professional development to teachers no matter their geographical location.

1. What makes good problem based lessons and how to teach with them.
2. How to avoid creating math robots.
3. How to use x-ray vision to see what your students know.
4. How open middle problems can fit into your teaching routine.
5. Where you can find good math professional development.
