In this episode, we're having a conversation with math teacher and coach, Anne Agostinelli, focusing on the concept of Interleaving in Math. Anne and Josh go back and forth defining interleaving, how she's implemented interleaving in her lessons, and how her students respond to this method.
In this episode we discuss:
- How interleaving focuses more on the big picture so that when you're practicing, you're practicing a lot of different things at once, not just one skill that you did that day in class
- What interleaving homework assignments look like
- How her students responded to interleaving
- The idea of "desirable difficulty"
- Blocked practice vs interleaved
- Transitioning from blocked to interleaved
Resources Mentioned:
- Interleaving in Math by Poojah K. Agarwal and Anne Agostinelli
- Powerful Teaching by Pooja K. Agarwal
