Cognitve Science Meets Counting: S2 E16

01/28/25 • 36 min

Tier 1 Interventions

Are your students struggling to stay engaged in math class? Do you want to help them build lasting confidence and skills? The Tier 1 Interventions Podcast is here to guide you!
This week, Cheri Dotterer and Jonily Zupancic unpack the Staircase task, a dynamic tool that:
Enhances focus and engagement in the classroom.
Builds foundational number sense through innovative counting strategies.
Aligns with cognitive science principles like spaced repetition and interleaving.
Bridges the gap between Tier 1, Tier 2, and Tier 3 interventions.

Join host Jonily Zupancic on the Tier 1 Interventions podcast as she navigates the heated debate surrounding the Science of Math. While traditional math instruction often contradicts the brain's natural learning processes, neuroscience and cognitive science challenge long-held math education practices. In this episode, Jonily explores the strategies—like interleaving, spaced repetition, and metacognitive feedback—revolutionizing classrooms and sparking discussions among educators worldwide. Whether you're a teacher, intervention specialist, or math enthusiast, discover how these evidence-based approaches reshape math instruction, ignite controversy, and offer new hope for student success.
