Solving for the Undefined: A Math Teacher Podcast

About Solving for the Undefined: A Math Teacher Podcast

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!

   84. Breaking the Cycle of Math Anxiety and Rethinking Traditional Teaching Practices

   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!
