Solving for the Undefined is the go-to math teacher podcast to develop your intrigue for math and learning while helping you do the same for your students. When our host, Johanna, became a teacher, she found herself alone, creating her own activities, and trying to make math fun plus easy to implement...but it wasn’t exactly a piece of pi (or cake!). She’s on a mission to solve those problems by helping teachers engage students academically using researched based strategies so students deeply understand and love math. And that’s what you can count on!

    The Importance of "When Done" Tasks for Students

    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. In today’s episode, I am sharing something I do to prepare in advance for these scenarios without creating a whole new chore. Let’s get started.

    Erase Apathy by using Whiteboards in your Math Class

    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. In today’s episode, I am going to be sharing how to harness that care-freeness of whiteboards to help erase apathy in students. Let’s get started.

    Skip Warmups & Do This Instead

    I don’t do warmups in my math classes. At least not in the traditional sense where there is a problem on the screen from yesterday’s lesson or previous content. But I do like the idea of starting off with a bite-sized problem that helps put my students’ minds in math mode. So I’ll be sharing exactly how to do that in today’s episode. Let’s get started.
