✨ 6th - 12th Grade Math TeachersÂ
Turn student mistakes into powerful learning moments
…without reteaching the same skill on repeat ✏️✨
Why do student mistakes keep showing up?
GREAT QUESTION!
Â
âś… Because mistakes are often treated as something to fix, not something to analyze
🧠Because students don’t actually know what kind of mistake they made, so nothing changes
⏱️ Because reflection feels like “one more thing,” not a built-in routine
📊 Because most PD talks about mindset… but never shows you what to do with the mistakes once they happen
Here's the REAL Struggle...
✔️ You reteach the same skill and still see the same errors
✔️ Students shut down the moment they’re wrong
✔️ “Growth mindset” talks haven’t changed behavior
✔️ There’s no space in the curriculum for reflection — just pacing
But what if…
Instead of fixing mistakes after the damage is done, you used them as data during instruction?
HERE’S THE BEST PART✨
What if mistakes stopped feeling frustrating and started giving you clarity?
 ✅ Students actually explaining why an answer is wrong
âś… Class discussions centered on thinking, not guessing
âś… Test prep that feels active instead of exhausting
It’s not only possible, it’s teachable.
 INTRODUCING…Â
How to Leverage Student Mistakes
A practical, classroom-ready PD experience that shows middle and high school math teachers how to turn student mistakes into meaningful learning routines, without adding hours of prep.
This isn’t about adding reflection on top of your teaching. It’s about making reflection part of how you already teach.
Who is this for?
âś… You teach middle or high school math
✅ You’re tired of reteaching the same concepts
âś… You care about student confidence and rigor
âś… You want PD that gives you tools you can use Monday
đźš« This is not for you if:
-
You want a quick fix with no mindset shift
-
You’re not open to changing how mistakes are discussed
-
You teach early childhood or non-math content

Hi, I’m Stephanie 👋
I’m a former NYC special education math teacher and the creator of Algebra Made Simple.
For over a decade, I taught in self-contained classrooms, co-taught ICT classes, and sat in IEP meetings asking myself:
Why do my students keep making the same mistakes, even when I’m doing everything “right”?
This workshop is the system I wish I had then.
Practical.
Flexible. Built for real classrooms with real constraints.
You don’t need a new curriculum.
You don’t need more time.
You need better systems for responding to what students already show you.
