Join us and special guest Suzanne Lynch as we dive into the complexities of teaching math to children. Once we understand why the show matters, we can find fun and exciting ways to breathe new life into teaching math.

Join us as we explain what THE SHOW is, why it matters, and how you can bring the show into YOUR classroom today!

Andrew joins one of his students, Michelle, to discuss teaching, creating the show, and how to inspire the next generation.

Special Guest Gabe Lee, a lifestyle entrepreneur, joins the Show Matters to discuss the role he plays in the community he serves. We discuss a common thread of belonging in an ever-increasing neighborhood filled with both inspiring and dangerous alleys around every corner. Gabe gives advice, words of wisdom, and warnings to teachers, educators, and students to help us all actually see one another. During this time of constant distractions and influences, Gabe's words ring truer than ever.

Bio about Gabe:

In the first arc of his career, Gabe was focused on creating environments and opportunities for youth to find themselves within the sport of basketball.

In today's episode, we talk about every teacher's desire and struggle to make their class their own! Working on a team can be inspiring as we support and lift each other up. However, we can run into challenges when either trying to bring our own creative ideas to a team, or as we learn to value new ideas of others.
