Zak and Kaneka chat about the importance of curiosity and asking questions when working with students and teachers.

Zak hit the convention floor at NCTM Atlanta to get some insight into attendees experiences and perspectives.

We’re thrilled to launch our brand-new podcast, The Educators MathCast, where passionate conversations meet powerful ideas in K–12 mathematics education. Hosted by Mike Flynn and Zak Champagne, each month you’ll get two opportunities to spark your thinking:
- On the first of the month, Mike and Zak tackle a topic in mathematics education in a quick, 15-minute conversation that gets right to the heart of the issue.
- On the fifteenth, you’ll hear a “Voices from the Field” episode featuring rich conversations with teachers, coaches, and researchers from across the country.
Tune in to explore:
- Fresh perspectives on emerging trends in math education
- Real stories from real educators that highlight the challenges and joys of teaching
- Practical strategies you can bring into your own classroom right away
Ready to listen? Click below to dive into the first episode and join us on this thoughtful, inspiring journey in mathematics education.

What happens when you take the energy of a math debate and condense it into bite-sized classroom moments? You get Debate Math Minis!
Mike and Zak teamed up with Chris and Rob at Debate Math and created a series of seven short, powerful debates designed to spark discussion, reasoning, and let’s be honest…some healthy disagreements.
These debates are serious, mathy, and quirky all at once.
The first Mini drops Thursday August 14th. You can listen wherever you get your podcasts or you can watch at the Debate Math YouTube Channel. And we’ve got a new dropping each week.
Let’s get debating!
Rock out with this math playdate!
