Weâve all said it: âThey just canât do it⌠yet.â
But what if that tiny word is quietly lowering the bar?In this episode, Mona shares her đĽhot take and breaks down why âyetâ isnât always as empowering as we think and how it can unintentionally mask low expectations. Youâll hear stories from Monaâs own classroom, what a visiting teacher helped her realize, and what to say (and do!) instead of leaning on âyet.â
đĄ Perfect for teachers who believe in growth mindset, but want to put it into real, actionable practice.

Today, weâre diving into a tough but important topic: Why are we so afraid to give kids hard math problems? If weâre being honest, it can feel uncomfortable to watch students struggle. We want them to feel successful, and sometimes it's tempting to step in and help too soon. But when we rescue students from struggle, we rob them of the chance to build resilience and problem-solving skills.
In this episode, weâll talk about why hard problems are essential for deep learning, what holds us back from giving students these challenges, and how we can create a classroom where students see struggle not as something to avoid but as part of the learning process. I'll also share strategies you can use tomorrow to help your students grapple with tough problems while feeling supported. Letâs get started!

Today, we're talking about 5 quick math talk strategies that will spark math conversations and increase engagement!
As math teachers, we often feel like we're talking at our students. As you know it is easy to fall into the cycle of telling students what to do and how to do it in math. But, deep down what we really want is more engagement. If weâre being honest with ourselves talking and telling our students doesnât lead to more engagement. What we really want is to get our students talking with each other about math?
In this episode, Iâll share a few simple strategies you can use tomorrow to get your students talking, thinking, and collaborating on math problems.
