Solving for the Undefined: A Math Teacher Podcast

Today we are joined by Juliana Tapper. Tune in as we dive into the roots of math anxiety and trauma, and explore practical strategies for helping students overcome these challenges in the classroom. Not only that, but continuing with the theme of "hot takes", we take critical look at traditional tools like cold calling, fluency drills, and explicit instruction!

For me, one of the most dreaded questions from a student is “What do I do now?” Mostly because in the moment it stresses me out. Maybe I didn’t think students would finish this quickly or I didn’t plan something else.

Who doesn’t love using whiteboards? I have fond memories as a kid going to my mom’s classroom during the summer while she set up for the school year and just drawing on her whiteboards with my sister. It was care-free fun because if I made a mistake in my drawing, it could easily be erased and fixed.
