Modern Math Teacher- Teaching Strategies for High School and Middle School Math Teachers

#110: The #1 Shift That Changes Everything (and It’s Not More Work)


Listen Later

What if your classroom didn’t need more resources—but a better rhythm?

In this episode, I’m sharing the one shift that changed everything for me as a math teacher: designing with rhythm. From launching units with anchor activities to structuring daily warm-ups and routines, I’ll show you how simple systems lead to better engagement, deeper understanding, and more peace—for you and your students.

✅ In this episode, we’ll explore:

  • Why teaching is like choreography—and how rhythm creates calm
  • How I start each unit with an anchor activity students remember
  • What makes warm-ups actually work
  • The biggest mistake teachers make with structure
  • One rhythm shift you can try this week

🎯 Key Takeaway:
 You don’t need to plan harder—you need to plan with rhythm.
