Microroutines: Maximizing Mathematical Engagement
Sep 15, 2026 Season 3 Episode 9 National Council of Teachers of Mathematics (NCTM)

This month, Latrenda and Dewey welcome Amy Lucenta and Grace Kelemanik, authors of MicroRoutines: Maximize Mathematical Engagement, to the podcast to explore practical, adaptable routines that help more students think, talk, and engage with mathematics. 

Together, they discuss how small, intentional teacher moves can amplify student thinking, strengthen mathematical discourse, and create more opportunities for every learner to participate.
