He also shares what didn't work when he first tried spiraling and offers practical ways to start without rebuilding your entire course. In this episode, you'll explore:The difference between blocked instruction and spiralingWhy spacing and retrieval can improve long-term retentionHow blocked units can create an “illusion of understanding”Why randomly mixing lessons isn't the same as thoughtfully spiralingHow mini-units can balance developmental progression with spaced learningThree low-lift ways to begin spiraling without rebuilding your courseHow warm-ups, math talks, and lagged practice can keep previous learning aliveWhat leaders can do to create the conditions for spiraling to actually stickChoose one topic students consistently seem to forget. Instead of teaching it once and hoping it sticks, consider how you could intentionally bring it back three times this term, going a little deeper each time. Start small, build deliberately, and give students repeated opportunities to retrieve and reconnect their learning. Show Notes PageLove the show?

They examine how assessment, classroom routines, walkthroughs, and professional learning can unintentionally send competing messages—and what leaders and teachers can begin changing within their control. In this episode, you'll explore:The two competing visions of mathematical successWhy speed and correct answers don't tell us the whole story of student understandingHow classroom and school systems communicate what we truly valueWhy collecting evidence of student thinking matters more than judging an answer aloneHow formative assessment can prioritize reasoning, justification, and critical thinkingWhy standardized assessments can be treated as the floor rather than the goalHow leaders can better align what they say matters with what their systems actually rewardHow to recognize when you're operating within the “old system” so you can begin changing itTake a closer look at one system you control—your formative assessment, lesson routines, walkthrough tool, or professional learning. What does it communicate to students and teachers about what counts as success in mathematics? Recognizing the old system is the first step toward building something different.Show Notes PageLove the show?

They unpack how clear ownership, predictable structures, shared direction, and psychological safety can create the right balance of autonomy and accountability—so people feel confident leaving the meeting and getting to work. In this episode, you'll explore:Why consensus can sometimes slow down math improvementHow to create greater clarity around roles, responsibilities, and ownershipThe difference between seeking input and asking permissionWhy predictable meeting structures create greater accountability between meetingsHow a Math Coherence Compass can become a filter for everyday decision-makingWhat high autonomy and high accountability can look like on a leadership teamWhy psychological safety matters when we want people to take actionHow leaders can determine whether their team has a clarity problem or a confidence problemIf your team is spending more energy deciding what to do than actually doing the work, take a look at the conditions surrounding the team itself. Ask whether people know what they own, whether they have a clear framework for making decisions, and whether they feel safe enough to act without knowing they'll get everything right the first time. The goal isn't less collaboration. It's creating the clarity, autonomy, accountability, and trust that allow collaboration to lead to action.Show Notes PageLove the show?

We’ve all heard it: “My students can do the math—they just struggle with word problems.” They can perform the calculation when it’s presented directly, but put that same mathematics inside a context or multi-step problem and suddenly things become much more difficult. The instinct might be to give students more word problems to practice, but what if the real challenge lies somewhere deeper? K-12 Math Leaders: Download our free Math Coherence Compass to help your teammates, system leaders, and educators create aligned instructional practices—without adding another initiative. https://makemathmoments.com/coherence-compass/Not sure what matters most when designing math improvement plans?

Make Math Moments Problem Based Lessons & Units In this episode, Jon Orr and Yvette Lehman dig into adaptive reasoning, one of the five interconnected strands of mathematical proficiency described in Adding It Up. They explore the important difference between having strategies in your mathematical toolkit and knowing when, why, and how to choose among them. From think-alouds and metacognition to mathematical discourse and varied problem contexts, the conversation looks at how we can help students become more flexible problem solvers. It also challenges us to look beyond “students can’t reason” and consider whether they have the background knowledge, task clarity, and familiarity with the context needed to demonstrate their reasoning in the first place. In this episode, you'll explore:What adaptive reasoning means within the five strands of mathematical proficiencyWhy knowing how to use a strategy is different from knowing when to choose itHow think-alouds can make mathematical decision-making visible to studentsWhy reflection and metacognition matter when students solve unfamiliar problemsHow mathematical discourse supports adaptive reasoningThree conditions to consider before concluding that students are struggling with reasoningWhy background knowledge and meaningful, familiar contexts matter in problem solvingHow strengthening our own mathematical proficiency can better position us to support studentsIf your students can complete straightforward calculations but struggle when mathematics appears in unfamiliar or multi-step problems, this episode offers a different place to look. Rather than simply adding more practice, consider what opportunities students have to choose strategies, explain those choices, reflect on their thinking, and strengthen the adaptive reasoning that helps weave mathematical proficiency together.Show Notes PageLove the show?

Rather than launching a system-wide initiative immediately, they focused on developing a small team of instructional leaders who first deepened their own understanding of computational fluency before supporting others. Through a summer leadership boot camp, monthly "book do" sessions, classroom implementation, and facilitator practice, they created a strong foundation for long-term success. Their story illustrates how learning fast, implementing slowly, and investing in leadership capacity can create momentum that lasts well beyond a single school year. In this episode, you'll explore:How one district launched a sustainable mathematics improvement journeyWhy building leadership capacity should come before large-scale implementationThe value of a summer leadership boot camp for establishing vision and focusHow "book do" sessions moved professional learning from discussion to actionWhy facilitator development is essential for scaling improvementHow grade-band leadership structures support distributed leadershipLessons leaders can apply when planning multi-year mathematics improvementIf you're leading mathematics improvement in a school or district, this episode offers a practical example of how to build leadership capacity, create momentum, and lay the foundation for sustainable change—one intentional step at a time.Show Notes PageLove the show?
