Anchor charts aren’t just classroom décor—they’re tools for making learning visible, guiding students toward deep understanding, and accelerating achievement. In this episode of Make Math Happen, Laneshia connects anchor chart planning to research-backed strategies like note-taking, summarization, and study skills. Building on ideas from Season 1, Episode 18 (Math Isn’t Magic—It’s Patterns Made Visible), this episode dives into how anchor charts can be planned, created, and leveraged to support surface, deep, and transfer learning. Whether your anchor charts live year-round or evolve with each unit, you’ll leave with practical ways to use them to amplify student success.
