Today we speak with the creator of the 3-act math structure, Guinness Book of World Record holder, national speaker, and Chief Academic Officer at Desmos, Dan Meyer.  We get the dirt on Dan’s background as a student and early days as a teacher. He shares his insights on what lessons should look like, sound like and he lets us in on what a Chief Academic Officer really does.  Stick around and you learn the origin story of the 3-Act math structure and why you need to know about it; how to use what you value in math lessons to bring out wonder and perplexity; the good and bad of ed-tech: what makes a great tech tool while teaching remotely; and, tow being culturally aware humans can make us better teachers. What you’ll learn:  The origin story of the 3-Act math structure and why you need to know about it.  What we value in a math lesson and how to use wonder and perplexity to teach those values.  The good and bad of ed-tech: what makes a great tech tool while teaching remotely.  How being culturally aware humans can make us better teachers.  Resources:  Dan Meyer’s TED Talk: Math Class Needs A Makeover How To Make Math Moments in Your Class 3-Acts of a Mathematical Story Dan on Twitter:  Dan’s Blog Hema Khodai’s Twitter
