In this episode, Cheri Dotterer shares a replay of a live webinar teaching three powerful math interventions proven to help students—from kindergarten to high school—retain and engage with math concepts more effectively. These strategies bridge the gap between cognitive science and classroom practice. Cheri breaks down the interventions into practical, hands-on activities, including the Locker Problem, the 120-Chart, and Paper Folding (Making Rectangles). She also highlights real-world case studies and the neuroscience behind these interventions, showing how as little as six minutes per week can change math outcomes.
