Episode 156
Tuesday, 10 February, 2026
Productive Math Struggle Series — Action 6: Reflecting on Productive StruggleIn the final episode of our Productive Math Struggle series, we explore the power of reflection — the often-missing piece that transforms struggle into lasting learning.Grounded in research from Phillips (1987) and Sousa (2008), this episode focuses on how intentional reflection helps students make meaning of both what they learned and how they learned it. We share simple, flexible reflection routines that reinforce productive struggle, strengthen math identity, and build habits of perseverance.🔑Key TakeawaysReflection increases retention and meaning-makingLearning includes experience, not just contentReflection reinforces that struggle is valuedVariety in reflection activities mattersReflection should be routine, not constantTeacher reflection improves future instructionCelebration should be thoughtful and student-centered📝Mini Move of the Week👉 Add ONE reflection prompt focused on struggle to lesson closure.📚Read along with UsProductive Struggle in Math: A 6 Point Action Plan for Fostering Perseverance🔗 Listen & Connect🎧 Listen here: https://modernmathteacher.buzzsprout.com/share📸 Instagram: @moorethanjustx🧑💻Join the free FB group: The Modern Math Teacher Community👩🏻🏫Become a Modern Math Teacher Member💛 Explore more resources: www.moorethanjustx.comLet’s talk.
