Making Math Make Sense with Carrie Mitchner

In this episode of Stronger Together, we sit down with Carrie Mitchner, a sixth grade math teacher at Lee Eaton Intermediate School. Carrie talks about what students really need at this stage, how she helps kids move past “I’m not a math person,” and the small classroom moves that build confidence over time. We also talk about why relationships matter in math, what has changed about teaching sixth grade, and what she hopes students carry with them long after they leave her class.
