#164 How to plan a maths lesson with Craig Latimir

In this episode I talk to fellow maths teacher, Craig Latimir,
about his process for planning a lesson... and it takes us 3
hours. But this is one of my favourite conversations I have had
on the podcast. It should be useful whatever your level of
teaching experience, but particularly useful for those n the
early stages of their career. I wish I had had someone like Craig
to stop me from making so many planning errors in the early days!
