Bowen Kerins examines game shows from two perspectives: those who play the games, and those who design the games.Tune in tonight at 9 PM EST. to explore the Mathematics of Game Shows!

Last week we were lucky to have Yana Weinstein (@d octorwhy) presenting Improving Math Education with Interleaved Problems. In this interactive presentation, we gave a brief overview of interleaving and discussed the ways in which teachers currently use interleaving in their classrooms. We talked about the challenges of using interleaving, research demonstrating that interleaving enhances math problem solving skills more than blocked practice, and provided some ideas for implementation of interleaving in the classroom.
