If you’ve ever walked out of your math classroom thinking, “Why don’t they care? What am I doing wrong?”—this episode is for you.
Spoiler alert:
You’re not the problem. The system is.

In this episode, we’re digging into:
✅ Why even the best teachers struggle to engage students with scripted, one-size-fits-all math curriculum
✅ What real student engagement actually looks like (hint: it’s not loud or flashy)
✅ How to spark meaningful change in your math class—without a full overhaul or replacing your math curriculum

You don’t need to throw everything out and start over. You just need one intentional spark to reset your classroom vibe. That’s exactly what we’re doing this week inside the Create a Kickass Math Class Bootcamp—and it’s not too late to join us.

💡 Key Takeaways:

  • You are not boring—your math curriculum might just be out of touch with what your students need.
  • Engagement doesn’t mean being a performer—it means creating choice, challenge, and connection.
  • One small change (like a warm-up, anchor task, or mini project) can totally reset your classroom culture.
