Solving for the Undefined: A Math Teacher Podcast artwork

Solving for the Undefined is the go-to math teacher podcast to develop your intrigue for math and learning while helping you do the same for your students. When our host, Johanna, became a teacher, she found herself alone, creating her own activities, and trying to make math fun plus easy to implement...but it wasn’t exactly a piece of pi (or cake!). She’s on a mission to solve those problems by helping teachers engage students academically using researched based strategies so students deeply understand and love math. And that’s what you can count on!
