What if your students begged to keep doing math?

In this Level 2 session of the Mastery Math Method, Cheri Dotterer and Jonily Zupancic show you how to break free from the textbook and make math feel like a game again.

You’ll see how:

• A simple Locker Problem can teach double-digit multiplication
• Reference tasks connect creativity to fourth-grade standards
• Interleaving and spaced practice help every student retain what they learn
• And why giving yourself permission to ditch the worksheet changes everything
