After two years of project-based teaching, I began visiting classrooms throughout central Indiana on my prep periods to run activities and talk about brain science and math methods to teachers. Now with 18 years as a teacher and having taught every math subject from 6th grade through AP and IB math classes, I am leaving the classroom to become a full time trainer. I will visit as many classrooms as I can for the rest of my life to pass on what I have learned.","sameAs":["https:\/\/www.rileymath.com"]}]}},"uagb_featured_image_src":{"full":["https:\/\/rileymath.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/Screen-Shot-2022-04-23-at-3.54.18-PM.png",588,836,false],"thumbnail":["https:\/\/rileymath.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/Screen-Shot-2022-04-23-at-3.54.18-PM-150x150.png",150,150,true],"medium":["https:\/\/rileymath.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/Screen-Shot-2022-04-23-at-3.54.18-PM-211x300.png",211,300,true],"medium_large":["https:\/\/rileymath.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/Screen-Shot-2022-04-23-at-3.54.18-PM.png",588,836,false],"large":["https:\/\/rileymath.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/Screen-Shot-2022-04-23-at-3.54.18-PM.png",588,836,false],"1536x1536":["https:\/\/rileymath.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/Screen-Shot-2022-04-23-at-3.54.18-PM.png",588,836,false],"2048x2048":["https:\/\/rileymath.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/Screen-Shot-2022-04-23-at-3.54.18-PM.png",588,836,false]},"uagb_author_info":{"display_name":"John Riley","author_link":"https:\/\/rileymath.com\/index.php\/author\/john\/"},"uagb_comment_info":0,"uagb_excerpt":"Productive Struggle Of the Eight Effective Math Teaching Practices in\u00a0Principles to Actions, Productive Struggle can sometimes be the most difficult to grasp. \u201cWe are supposed to let them struggle?!\u201d Well, to a point.
