One of my favorite things to teach is helping Algebra 1 students see the math through real-world projects 🎨—and I’m sharing exactly how inside Educator Exponential!

In my session, Spark Student Engagement with Real-World Projects in Algebra 1, you’ll discover:
✨ How to launch your linear equations unit with the FREE Stained Glass Slope Mini Project
✨ Low-floor thinking tasks that keep students curious as they learn slope, point-slope, and standard form
✨ Tips for wrapping the unit with a gorgeous final stained-glass display

The conference is FREE October 17–20, or you can snag a VIP ticket for extended access and a bonus resource bundle (including the full Stained Glass Project!).

Confession: My first project-based learning attempt was a hot mess. 🔥🙃

I thought it had to be this massive, weeks-long extravaganza. But what I discovered? Mini-projects—just 3–5 days long—can be just as engaging (and way less overwhelming).

This week’s episode, Project-Based Learning Lesson Plan Ideas for Any Secondary Math Class, breaks down:
👉 How to design PBL that fits your schedule
👉 Lesson plan ideas you can use right away
👉 Why students remember these projects long after the test

If you’ve been curious about PBL but aren’t sure where to start, this is the episode to bookmark.

We’ve all been there: You toss out a “turn and talk” or a big question… and instead of buzzing conversations, you get crickets. 🦗

But here’s the thing: students do want to talk—they just need the right spark.

This week’s episode, Active Teaching Strategies That Actually Spark Student Discussion, shares practical, ready-to-use ways to turn awkward silence into genuine math conversations.

👉 Inside you’ll learn:
• Simple strategies that get students talking (for real!)
• How to make your prompts irresistible
• Quick adjustments you can use tomorrow

If you’ve ever wished for more lively discussions in math class, this one’s for you.
