Written by:
Strong teacher-student relationships matter, but classroom culture shapes math learning just as much.
In Episode 4, we widen the lens to explore peer relationships in the math classroom and how social dynamics influence student participation.
Middle and high school math teachers share stories about:
-
Co-creating classroom norms
-
Addressing laughter or shutdown without damaging relationships
-
Reducing students' fear of looking "dumb" in front of peers
-
Building collective responsibility for respectful discussion
-
Creating psychological safety in math class
When students feel safe making mistakes publicly, participation changes. This episode examines how classroom culture in secondary math classrooms can shift from control to community, and why peer trust plays a central role.
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.
