If you’re tired of hearing your students ask, “When are we ever gonna use this?”—this episode is for you. Today I’m breaking down the 3 R’s that have reshaped my math class: Real, Relevant, and Rigorous. And no, these aren’t just buzzwords.
Inside this episode:
✔ What it really means to design math that’s real, relevant, and rigorous
✔ A behind-the-scenes look at my Save for Success Project
✔ The litmus test I use to decide if a lesson is worth teaching
💡 Try This: Pick a lesson you’re planning this week. Does it hit all three R’s? If not, choose one area to upgrade.
🎯 Key Takeaway: We don’t do projects because they’re fun—we do them because life is a project.
