Math Before Breakfast

Overview
Episodes

Details

Three mornings a week, we meet before breakfast for an early-morning run. We spend most of our time planning and reflecting on what's happening in our classrooms. This has become our favorite professional development, so we figured, why not share these moments with you. Tracy is a 4th grade math and science teacher, and Ruth is a 6th grade math teacher.
