I will be entering my 25th year of teaching in Michigan and this is by far the most practical podcast I have come across. So many topics discussed ring true based on my experience with students and math instruction. I have found the episode with Craig Barton to be especially helpful and have also started listening to all of his podcasts as a result! I am very encouraged to implement so many of these ideas during the 2026-2027 school year. Keep them coming!

Anna is fighting the good fight for clear, effective math instruction. Constructivist math is math’s “Whole Language Reading” moment and is harming our kids. Shout it from the mountaintop Anna!
