The Day We Taught Math

On this episode of Teachers on the Loose, four teachers sit around laughing their way through math memories — the proud “I finally get it!” moments and the humbling hurdles that still make us twitch at the sight of timed tests. We swap hilarious math stories, including the unexpected romance that started in math class. We reflect on how growing up with math shaped us into the teachers we are today — full of empathy, creativity, and a deep respect for the struggle. From favorite manipulatives that actually make math make sense to a rapid-fire math facts showdown that reveals who’s still got it (and who absolutely does not), this episode adds up to laughs, heart, and a whole lot of number nostalgia.
