#031 Kris Boulton – Part 2: Minimal guided instruction, Understanding, How before Why

Kris returns to the podcast for another epic. This time we cover
Kris' concerns with minimal guided approaches to teaching, such a
discovery and inquiry based learning. We also delve into what it
actually means to understand something in maths, and whether we
as teachers can ever truly assess that understanding. Finally,
how do you decide if you should teach the How before the Why?
