About this listen

If relationships matter in math instruction, how do you actually build them? Especially with 100+ students?

In Episode 3, we move from belief to practice. Middle and high school math teachers reflect on what intentional relationship-building looks like in real classrooms... beyond slogans like "relationships are everything."

You'll hear practical strategies from secondary math educators, including:

  • Using math timelines to understand students' math histories

  • Creating daily routines that build connection and trust

  • Listening for moments that shift how you see a student

  • Strengthening student voice in math discussions

  • Building mathematical self-esteem over time

This episode explores how relationship-building in the math classroom becomes sustainable practice (not just philosophy) and how reflective teaching strengthens both connection and instructional decisions.

What Counts is a professional learning podcast for middle and high school math teachers exploring teacher-student relationships, student voice, math identity, and classroom culture. The show is presented by Impact Florida and produced by De LeCourt.
