I just taught math while unloading the dishwasher.

My story today is about teaching math while unloading the dishwasher.

I usually unload and reload my dishwasher during the lunchtime routine, and I’ve found little habits connected to math that support continous progress.

I think of math in this acrostic: Mastery Added Through Habit.

I’m always looking for ways to use our conversation to coax and confirm learning in small, lasting steps.

The kitchen has become a place where small deposits are continually made. I wonder if the slight distraction of the kitchen business helps us all to just do the things rather than wallow in struggle over math.

So this really is a collection of small stories of how I remain consistent with math progress in itty bitty steps. These stories are explained in a recent podcast episode. Click below to listen.
