Simple sentences: Fishbowl interviews

Abstract

This week I’ll be prototyping a new activity that I’m calling “Simple sentences: Fishbowl interviews”. Here’s how it will go. An interviewee will give a 1 slide “lightning talk” about a math story that they are excited to share with us. Then I’ll interview them about their talk and get it to make sense to me. Our goal will be to co-create a simple prose sentence and a matching simple math sentence so that audience members can follow along at whatever level of abstraction they find best fit to.
