    Ep 262: Code Switching in Mathematics
    Jun 24 2025

    What if finding equivalence between fractions, decimals, and precents wasn't just a task for students to do, but a tool making them more efficient in rational number computations? In this episode Pam and Kim talk about code switching with rational numbers to make complex problems more figure-out-able.

    Talking Points:

    • What is code switching in rational numbers?
    • A Problem String using equivalence to think about multiplication
    • Tasks that use equivalency to solve problems rather than just practicing conversions

    See episode 219 for learning about finding the mean: https://www.buzzsprout.com/1062400/episodes/15561786
