#110: The #1 Shift That Changes Everything (and It’s Not More Work)

Modern Math Teacher- Teaching Strategies for High School and Middle School Math Teachers

What if your classroom didn’t need more resources—but a better rhythm?

In this episode, I’m sharing the one shift that changed everything for me as a math teacher: designing with rhythm. From launching units with anchor activities to structuring daily warm-ups and routines, I’ll show you how simple systems lead to better engagement, deeper understanding, and more peace—for you and your students.

✅ In this episode, we’ll explore:

• Why teaching is like choreography—and how rhythm creates calm
• How I start each unit with an anchor activity students remember
• What makes warm-ups actually work
• The biggest mistake teachers make with structure
• One rhythm shift you can try this week
