Summary

Join a live podcast recording that explores the dynamic relationship between math and decision-making. Our guests will examine how math instruction can nurture decision-making skills such as probabilistic thinking and numeracy, and how applying decision-making contexts can lead to new math structures that feel more meaningful and relevant. Through practical examples, the discussion will show how integrating these approaches helps students apply mathematical reasoning to real-world choices and develop lasting habits of thoughtful, evidence-based analysis.
