If you’ve ever had a student say, “I’m just not a math person”, you know how powerful that belief can be. Math identity—how students see themselves in relation to math—can either open the door to learning or slam it shut. In this episode of Math Chat Podcast, we explore how to shift those fixed beliefs by reframing what math is and who it’s for.
The Word Problem Workshop (WPW) framework is designed to help all learners engage in problem-solving at their own pace. You’ll learn how the “Grapple” step invites productive struggle, the “Share” step encourages diverse strategies, and the “Reflect” step solidifies understanding. This structure turns mistakes into learning moments and makes math a place where every student can shine.
🎧 Listen to the full episode of Math Chat Podcast to hear the stories, strategies, and examples in detail.
