Have you ever said or heard), I'm just not a math person? You're not alone — and according to our guests, that belief didn't happen by accident. In this episode, Dr. Gregory Benoit and Dr. Erin Barno join us to explore what it really means to teach mathematics ambitiously and equitably — moving beyond procedures and correct answers toward classrooms where meaning-making, multiple approaches, and every student's thinking are at the center. If you've ever wondered how to disrupt traditional math instruction without losing the room, this conversation is for you.
