1
00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:04,140
Hey everybody, it's Cheri Dotterer
here at Tier One Interventions podcast.

2
00:00:04,379 --> 00:00:09,690
I'm here today with Jonily Zupancic
and we are in class today with a live

3
00:00:09,690 --> 00:00:14,430
group of ladies and gentlemen who are
learning about the Mastery Math method.

4
00:00:14,730 --> 00:00:19,259
So I'm gonna let Jonily talk and if
there's any intervention that I wanna add

5
00:00:19,259 --> 00:00:26,610
to the puzzle, we will do but for now,
I'm signing it all over to Jonily and let

6
00:00:26,610 --> 00:00:28,650
us learn a little bit about mathematics.

7
00:00:28,650 --> 00:00:29,190
Girl.

8
00:00:29,700 --> 00:00:31,140
Y'all, this is Jay-Z.

9
00:00:31,200 --> 00:00:34,810
I'm Jonily Zupancic, I'm your math
specialist, your main Mathineer.

10
00:00:34,880 --> 00:00:40,385
I if you are listening to this podcast or
you're watching this podcast on YouTube I

11
00:00:40,385 --> 00:00:42,875
want to give a disclaimer and a warning.

12
00:00:43,475 --> 00:00:44,675
This is level two.

13
00:00:44,675 --> 00:00:49,175
You're listening in on a level two
version of Mastery Math method.

14
00:00:49,835 --> 00:00:51,425
Let me do a little side hustle.

15
00:00:52,235 --> 00:00:55,595
Okay, let me do a little side hustle
and I'm gonna draw this line because

16
00:00:55,595 --> 00:00:59,315
I wanna make sure that these extra
numbers are not in the locker boxes.

17
00:00:59,494 --> 00:01:00,725
Here's a little side hustle.

18
00:01:00,725 --> 00:01:02,585
I could ask the question.

19
00:01:02,975 --> 00:01:08,614
Okay, what is the 47th Locker?

20
00:01:09,155 --> 00:01:10,235
Watch this, guys.

21
00:01:10,265 --> 00:01:11,105
Watch this.

22
00:01:11,284 --> 00:01:15,305
Listen, what is the 47th locker?

23
00:01:16,250 --> 00:01:30,800
That student 23 touches, what is the
47th locker that student 23 touches?

24
00:01:31,730 --> 00:01:33,829
Why do I ask this question now?

25
00:01:33,829 --> 00:01:37,940
Because this is an answer getting in
solving question and it's okay now.

26
00:01:40,160 --> 00:01:43,460
But I ask this question now because
now I'm using this reference task

27
00:01:43,460 --> 00:01:45,620
to teach my fourth grade standards.

28
00:01:45,860 --> 00:01:51,680
This is directly fourth grade standards,
two digit by two digit multiplication.

29
00:01:53,000 --> 00:01:57,170
So now I'm asking a locker problem
question that is directly going to

30
00:01:57,170 --> 00:02:01,160
relate to my specific standards.

31
00:02:01,970 --> 00:02:03,650
This is the beauty of reference task.

32
00:02:03,680 --> 00:02:06,380
This is what reference task
reference tasks will do to

33
00:02:06,470 --> 00:02:08,810
for us the locker problem.

34
00:02:08,810 --> 00:02:12,620
Now I can start to generate locker
problem questions for every grade

35
00:02:12,620 --> 00:02:17,390
level that are gonna target various
standards at every single grade level.

36
00:02:18,110 --> 00:02:20,450
This question, what's
the 47th blocker student?

37
00:02:20,450 --> 00:02:21,440
23 touches?

38
00:02:21,650 --> 00:02:25,610
If I have third graders, they don't
have to master that standard yet, but

39
00:02:25,610 --> 00:02:29,360
I can have third graders investigating
how to multiply two digit by two digit

40
00:02:29,360 --> 00:02:34,640
number 'cause they could actually skip
count by 20 threes, 47 times and be able

41
00:02:34,640 --> 00:02:38,930
to do this and practice their double
digit and triple digit edition skills.

42
00:02:40,699 --> 00:02:45,739
So I can use the locker problem
reference task to then spring

43
00:02:45,769 --> 00:02:48,979
out and teach my standards.

44
00:02:49,219 --> 00:02:52,309
Now I want, I wanna talk more about that.

45
00:02:53,119 --> 00:02:55,159
We'll do that this year in level two.

46
00:02:55,159 --> 00:02:58,159
A few months from now, when we
come back to locker problem, we're

47
00:02:58,159 --> 00:02:59,750
gonna start with this game board.

48
00:02:59,869 --> 00:03:03,409
We're not doing it next session
'cause we need interleaving,

49
00:03:04,429 --> 00:03:05,989
we need spaced practice.

50
00:03:06,290 --> 00:03:09,769
But maybe at the December
session, we're gonna come back to

51
00:03:09,800 --> 00:03:11,569
lockers, pizzas and rectangles.

52
00:03:11,630 --> 00:03:12,290
Oh my.

53
00:03:12,529 --> 00:03:15,170
Because today we didn't
even get to the pizzas.

54
00:03:15,199 --> 00:03:15,829
Rectangles.

55
00:03:15,829 --> 00:03:16,309
Oh my.

56
00:03:16,579 --> 00:03:18,380
But we're not gonna do it next month.

57
00:03:18,949 --> 00:03:21,079
We're doing something totally
different next month because

58
00:03:21,079 --> 00:03:22,460
I practice interleaving.

59
00:03:22,880 --> 00:03:26,059
So November, December, when we
come back to this one, we'll

60
00:03:26,059 --> 00:03:30,170
start right here with this game
board and then I'll go on from it.

61
00:03:30,949 --> 00:03:36,439
So right now, all I'm gonna do
is I'm gonna save this and this

62
00:03:36,439 --> 00:03:37,939
is what I do in my classroom.

63
00:03:38,210 --> 00:03:38,449
Okay?

64
00:03:38,449 --> 00:03:43,409
This might be like, a day in my classroom
and I might say, oh my gosh guys, for

65
00:03:43,409 --> 00:03:47,009
the next two weeks we need to get,
we need to get back into the book.

66
00:03:47,460 --> 00:03:49,949
I get back into the
textbook, okay we got it.

67
00:03:49,979 --> 00:03:52,289
We gotta just do regular
math for the next two weeks.

68
00:03:52,469 --> 00:03:52,949
Okay?

69
00:03:53,369 --> 00:03:54,539
So we're gonna put this aside.

70
00:03:54,539 --> 00:03:56,279
And they're gonna be like, why
do we ever have to do regular?

71
00:03:56,279 --> 00:03:57,719
Why can't we just always do this math?

72
00:03:57,719 --> 00:03:58,699
And I'm like I don't know.

73
00:03:58,760 --> 00:04:00,199
We should, we can.

74
00:04:00,800 --> 00:04:04,519
Because actually in my
classroom I won't do that.

75
00:04:04,519 --> 00:04:06,710
I'm pressing snooze 'cause my
alarm's going off and I have

76
00:04:06,710 --> 00:04:08,060
to wrap up in nine minutes.

77
00:04:08,479 --> 00:04:13,790
But in my classroom we actually won't
go back into the book for two weeks.

78
00:04:13,819 --> 00:04:15,229
That's just not how I operate.

79
00:04:16,460 --> 00:04:20,079
But that's overwhelming for a lot
of people, especially you type a

80
00:04:20,079 --> 00:04:23,739
control freaks, you need me to give
you permission to just get back into

81
00:04:23,739 --> 00:04:25,510
your textbook alone for two weeks.

82
00:04:25,540 --> 00:04:26,350
So there you go.

83
00:04:26,350 --> 00:04:27,279
Take the permission.

84
00:04:27,679 --> 00:04:32,239
It's not advice because I don't do
that, but I know many of you need it.

85
00:04:32,239 --> 00:04:33,919
So go ahead, do it.

86
00:04:34,579 --> 00:04:36,409
So any who?

87
00:04:36,919 --> 00:04:40,129
I don't even know what my point is
'cause my alarm went off and my brain

88
00:04:40,129 --> 00:04:44,089
is so sleep deprived right now that
I don't even know what's happening.

89
00:04:44,119 --> 00:04:44,749
Oh, okay.

90
00:04:44,749 --> 00:04:44,809
So

91
00:04:51,349 --> 00:04:52,219
this is level two.

92
00:04:53,479 --> 00:04:54,319
This is level two.

93
00:04:54,979 --> 00:04:56,659
This is what we're gonna get in level two.

94
00:04:58,819 --> 00:05:01,699
Thoughts, comments, questions, takeaways?

95
00:05:04,789 --> 00:05:10,849
I think by the time I bring something
like this up, we'll have done the one 20

96
00:05:10,849 --> 00:05:17,389
chart and those like other items that I
am hoping kids get the connection of the

97
00:05:17,389 --> 00:05:19,999
skip counting and circling the numbers.

98
00:05:21,859 --> 00:05:23,209
That is a great point.

99
00:05:24,364 --> 00:05:27,034
That's exactly why that,
that's exactly the purpose.

100
00:05:27,184 --> 00:05:28,085
Beautifully said.

101
00:05:28,444 --> 00:05:30,064
Other takeaways, thoughts?

102
00:05:39,965 --> 00:05:43,144
I am very happy with all the math.

103
00:05:43,654 --> 00:05:46,145
I did so something with Pam
Harris and she's sometimes you

104
00:05:46,145 --> 00:05:47,405
just, I just need a high dose.

105
00:05:47,405 --> 00:05:48,425
You in math, right?

106
00:05:48,425 --> 00:05:52,595
You just need a higher dose and
I needed that higher dose and

107
00:05:52,595 --> 00:05:55,715
we'll need that higher dose so
I can just keep leveling up.

108
00:05:55,715 --> 00:05:56,855
I love the leveling up.

109
00:05:56,855 --> 00:05:57,725
I love the math.

110
00:05:58,055 --> 00:05:59,135
You high dose me.

111
00:05:59,135 --> 00:06:00,125
I'm excited.

112
00:06:00,125 --> 00:06:01,445
Let's do this.

113
00:06:03,395 --> 00:06:04,655
Beautifully said.

114
00:06:05,345 --> 00:06:05,615
Other

115
00:06:05,615 --> 00:06:06,755
thoughts, takeaways.

116
00:06:07,355 --> 00:06:09,755
I'm just loving the idea of level up.

117
00:06:10,175 --> 00:06:13,265
That is been like the
theme of this entire week.

118
00:06:13,595 --> 00:06:17,555
And so Natalie, thank you for putting
the icing on this level up cake.

119
00:06:24,035 --> 00:06:26,345
Those are spirit fingers.

120
00:06:27,245 --> 00:06:28,355
Jazz, hands are different.

121
00:06:28,355 --> 00:06:29,975
Kirk, we'll help you out.

122
00:06:33,425 --> 00:06:34,835
Other takeaways, thoughts?

123
00:06:40,115 --> 00:06:41,975
Beth, are you overwhelmed?

124
00:06:41,980 --> 00:06:43,110
Beth probably got bulldozed.

125
00:06:44,020 --> 00:06:45,935
Beth is I need therapy after this.

126
00:06:47,960 --> 00:06:49,760
But students will love this more.

127
00:06:49,790 --> 00:06:53,780
They will love this more than sit
and get because they're actually

128
00:06:53,780 --> 00:06:55,940
thinking and they really want to think.

129
00:06:57,530 --> 00:06:58,340
Yes, they

130
00:06:58,340 --> 00:06:58,760
do.

131
00:06:59,570 --> 00:07:01,070
They wanna be like everybody else.

132
00:07:02,630 --> 00:07:03,050
Yeah.

133
00:07:03,080 --> 00:07:11,300
So yeah, I'm gonna go back and look
at the level one and see if I can just

134
00:07:11,300 --> 00:07:12,950
integrate all this stuff together.

135
00:07:14,510 --> 00:07:15,530
Thank you Theresa.

136
00:07:18,770 --> 00:07:19,340
Kathy.

137
00:07:19,490 --> 00:07:20,330
Thank you Kathy.

138
00:07:20,900 --> 00:07:21,470
Sorry

139
00:07:22,100 --> 00:07:22,490
Beth.

140
00:07:22,490 --> 00:07:24,020
We're so glad you're here.

141
00:07:24,020 --> 00:07:25,200
And this is overwhelming.

142
00:07:25,200 --> 00:07:28,400
If this is your like first
interaction with this is craziness.

143
00:07:28,610 --> 00:07:30,920
You are a trooper because you
didn't hang up on us either.

144
00:07:30,920 --> 00:07:31,820
You stuck around.

145
00:07:32,420 --> 00:07:33,010
Oh no.

146
00:07:33,520 --> 00:07:34,300
You're awesome.

147
00:07:34,300 --> 00:07:35,110
I love you girl.

148
00:07:35,540 --> 00:07:39,540
I think it's important to say that
we're all on this journey together.

149
00:07:40,110 --> 00:07:45,960
And when I facilitate and teach
level two, these are all the things

150
00:07:45,960 --> 00:07:47,910
that I've always wanted to tell you.

151
00:07:48,810 --> 00:07:51,720
But I always have an
audience of level one.

152
00:07:52,410 --> 00:07:54,090
Actually, I always have a level.

153
00:07:54,390 --> 00:07:58,020
Actually, I, Ty you all are a level two.

154
00:07:58,290 --> 00:08:02,850
So Beth, no offense, but you're here
with all level two people right now.

155
00:08:03,000 --> 00:08:03,420
Okay?

156
00:08:03,450 --> 00:08:04,530
Yes, I get it.

157
00:08:04,530 --> 00:08:07,020
And we welcome you and we love you
and we want you to keep coming.

158
00:08:07,020 --> 00:08:07,950
Don't stop coming.

159
00:08:08,670 --> 00:08:12,090
But in many scenarios
that this group is in.

160
00:08:14,130 --> 00:08:16,440
A lot of times it's a
level negative three.

161
00:08:17,850 --> 00:08:18,600
Okay?

162
00:08:19,620 --> 00:08:22,020
Hey everybody, it's Cheri again.

163
00:08:22,440 --> 00:08:27,240
If you're loving these strategies
and you want to join our Mastery

164
00:08:27,240 --> 00:08:33,450
Math Method Masterclass, we hold
this hour long event once a month

165
00:08:33,510 --> 00:08:35,400
and we'd love to have you join.

166
00:08:35,970 --> 00:08:40,005
What we talk about there is how to
improve your math skills in 10 days.

167
00:08:40,890 --> 00:08:45,210
Can you imagine 10 days, whether you
are a math teacher or an occupational

168
00:08:45,210 --> 00:08:50,190
therapist, you can see exactly how to
shift teaching so that every student,

169
00:08:50,340 --> 00:08:55,320
no matter their starting point, can
master core math concepts and reserve.

170
00:08:56,100 --> 00:09:02,340
So reserve your seat today and go
over to disability labs.com/calendar

171
00:09:02,520 --> 00:09:04,710
to check out the next event.

172
00:09:06,985 --> 00:09:07,315
And that's

173
00:09:07,315 --> 00:09:08,815
not fair to all of you.

174
00:09:09,115 --> 00:09:13,345
That's why we're doing level two of
mastery math method this year, and

175
00:09:13,345 --> 00:09:18,835
that's why you are all here with
us because it's not fair to you to

176
00:09:18,835 --> 00:09:20,425
always have the audience of level.

177
00:09:20,485 --> 00:09:26,795
So Saturday maths, actually Saturday
maths are like, they're level zero one.

178
00:09:26,855 --> 00:09:28,835
They're I think Saturday maths.

179
00:09:28,835 --> 00:09:32,975
I force myself not to present as
a, to like level negative three,

180
00:09:33,245 --> 00:09:34,505
even though some of them are.

181
00:09:34,925 --> 00:09:37,805
But it's important to
know that is our purpose.

182
00:09:37,805 --> 00:09:42,005
That's the purpose Cheri and
I have for doing level two.

183
00:09:42,545 --> 00:09:44,795
Other thoughts, comments,
questions, takeaways?

184
00:09:50,075 --> 00:09:51,395
I like what Natalie says.

185
00:09:51,395 --> 00:09:52,475
Keep coming back.

186
00:09:52,895 --> 00:09:55,325
We also need interactions over time.

187
00:09:55,655 --> 00:09:58,235
None of us got here in
one or two sessions.

188
00:09:58,475 --> 00:10:02,285
I've been working with Jonily
for seven years, I think, and I

189
00:10:02,285 --> 00:10:04,475
still learn and grow each time.

190
00:10:05,675 --> 00:10:07,985
Yes, that's how long it takes, Beth.

191
00:10:07,985 --> 00:10:08,735
You're welcome.

192
00:10:10,805 --> 00:10:11,285
Thank you.

193
00:10:15,450 --> 00:10:15,990
Oh boy.

194
00:10:15,990 --> 00:10:16,595
And implementing

195
00:10:16,595 --> 00:10:17,885
what you've learned now.

196
00:10:17,915 --> 00:10:19,445
Okay, so everybody.

197
00:10:21,125 --> 00:10:25,715
Beth came to me at the end of the school
year and said, can I get my dysgraphia

198
00:10:25,715 --> 00:10:27,635
certification before school starts?

199
00:10:27,635 --> 00:10:33,030
I went, there's planning on taking the
summer off, but okay, can we master this?

200
00:10:33,150 --> 00:10:35,010
She did it in six weeks.

201
00:10:35,010 --> 00:10:36,780
That's even faster than Theresa did it

202
00:10:39,150 --> 00:10:40,530
know I did mine in 10 weeks.

203
00:10:41,820 --> 00:10:49,020
She has been so inundated with Cheri
over the last couple of months that

204
00:10:50,940 --> 00:10:54,270
I'm surprised she's still around
and she's coming back for more.

205
00:10:57,240 --> 00:10:58,455
It's become a habit.

206
00:11:01,315 --> 00:11:07,170
It follows what there said, listen, a
habit, you wanna keep biting the lollipop.

207
00:11:08,135 --> 00:11:08,425
Yeah.

208
00:11:10,020 --> 00:11:10,950
It's like a drug.

209
00:11:12,480 --> 00:11:13,170
That's right.

210
00:11:13,530 --> 00:11:13,890
It is.

211
00:11:13,890 --> 00:11:15,900
It's addicting as a matter of fact.

212
00:11:15,900 --> 00:11:15,960
Yeah,

213
00:11:16,070 --> 00:11:17,330
It's Saturday morning.

214
00:11:17,390 --> 00:11:20,270
I texted my curriculum director
this morning and I said,

215
00:11:20,570 --> 00:11:21,830
I can't wait until Monday.

216
00:11:21,830 --> 00:11:23,270
Do we have to have weekends?

217
00:11:24,620 --> 00:11:24,770
My gosh.

218
00:11:24,770 --> 00:11:29,150
That's how addicted, that's how
much I know right now that I am in

219
00:11:29,150 --> 00:11:30,830
the right place at the right time.

220
00:11:30,830 --> 00:11:37,610
Cheri, share your mantra,
Esther, for such a time as this.

221
00:11:38,990 --> 00:11:40,340
I'm living that right now.

222
00:11:44,010 --> 00:11:47,299
This may be the end of our
seven-part series, but it’s not

223
00:11:47,299 --> 00:11:48,540
the end of the conversation.

224
00:11:49,249 --> 00:11:53,909
Stay tuned for what’s next, whether
it’s subtraction reimagined, fraction

225
00:11:53,909 --> 00:11:58,409
fluency, or something completely
new, we promise to keep bringing

226
00:11:58,409 --> 00:12:02,180
you the brain-based strategies you
need to transform math learning.

227
00:12:02,760 --> 00:12:03,929
Until then, remember.

228
00:12:04,110 --> 00:12:07,450
every student deserves the chance to
see themselves as a mathematician.

229
00:12:08,129 --> 00:12:11,049
And as Cheri and Jonily
say, Go Be Awesome!

230
00:12:11,379 --> 00:12:12,209
Go Be Brilliant!

231
00:12:12,739 --> 00:12:15,030
For you were put here
for such a time as this.
