Hacking A Question About Time to Empower Math Students
You will learn how to make a simple hack to your curriculum so that students are empowered to think more critically and creatively about mathematics and estimation. Curriculum is usually the one asking all the questions in math class. Let’s shift that a bit. I riff of the unit of measurement of time and make a small change so students are the ones asking questions. My Math Minions are back to explore this hack with me too.

Customer Reviews
THANK YOU!
I wanted to thank you for all you do. I started using Estimation 180 this year as a warm-up. We do it every Tuesday & the kids look forward to it. I loved telling them some of the background of the pics of you & your family that I learned from listening. I love your math minions segment. Keep up the great work.
Number Sense Made Meaningful
After following Mr. Stadel over the past few years through his Estimation 180 Website, it’s great to have him sharing out through this podcast. Hearing about his journey and knowledge learned through the process has been refreshing! It’s been fun to follow along, learn, and grow through this podcast so far! Excited to see what comes next!
Good main points, needs work as a Podcast
I truly enjoy your Math 180 resources, the main points of the podcast episodes and the adorable “math minions” segments. However I feel that you are too far into teacher mode (or news anchor mode) as opposed to podcast mode. There is too much of “this is what we are going to do...”, “this is what we are doing....”, “this is what we did...” throughout the episodes. The episodes could be significantly shorter if only the main topics were introduced and summarized (not every single section). For example you can jump right into the math minions segments, no need to give it a preamble.
