Hey math teachers!
Transform your classroom into a hub of curiosity and confidence.
Discover practical, ready-to-use strategies to boost student engagement and confidence in math, without overhauling your entire curriculum.
I like the sound of that!IÂ know what it's like...
→ You want your students to light up during math but between the curriculum, the pacing guide, and allll the behaviors, a full-on classroom overhaul just isn’t happening right now.
→ You’re always looking for ways to hook students in, to help them actually get why math matters and feel like they belong in your classroom.
→ You're trying to lift up the students who feel completely lost…without losing the ones who need more of a challenge.
→ And you’re hoping that maybe *just maybe* your students will not only pass the test but actually remember what they learned (and even enjoy the process along the way).
Let me know if any of this rings a bell…
✔ You’ve got students who shut down before they even try. The problem isn’t too hard, they just don’t believe they can do it.
✔ Some of your students are struggling, but instead of asking for help, they act like math doesn’t matter. (Meanwhile, you know they’re capable of so much more.)
✔ You feel like you have to be a cheerleader, entertainer, and motivational speaker just to get students to give it a shot. And honestly? It’s exhausting.
YOU'RE AN AMAZING EDUCATOR, BUT YOU MAY WONDER:
How could things change?
You're overwhelmed by student apathy
You're tired of the lack of effort students give
You have no idea where to start
What if it's not just about math?
When students leave your classroom thinking, “I’m just not a math person,” it doesn’t stop there.
That belief chips away at their confidence, not just in math, but in learning anything hard.
Sometimes it’s not even about the current lesson, it’s about the baggage they’re bringing in.Â
đźš« Maybe a past teacher made them feel behind.
🚫 Maybe they’ve only ever seen math as a subject where you're either a “genius” or bad at it with no in-between.
🚫 Maybe they’ve never had a win in math class, so why even try?
But when students start to feel success (even small wins) they begin to see themselves differently.
👉 They try again.
👉 They speak up.
👉 They believe they can figure it out.
That shift in confidence? It lasts far beyond your classroom.
Because you’re not just teaching math.
You’re helping students rewrite the stories they’ve been told about what they’re capable of.
I want you to think about it this way...
If you want things to change dramatically, dramatic change has to occur!
>>You are that catalyst of change.<<
I'm ready to make a change!
Imagine how it would feel to...
Watch students stick with tough problems without giving up at the first sign of struggle
Hear real math conversations where kids explain their thinking (& actually want to understand!)
Know your students own the learning...not just for the test, but long after it’s over
That'd be a dream, right?
And it's possible. How do I know? I've done it!
Throughout my teaching career, I have tried hundreds of different strategies, techniques, and experiments.
In all of that, I've found 5 key things that change the trajectory from students being apathetic mimickers to becoming collaborative classroom mathematicians.
And I want to guide you so you can experience that exact success for you and your students!
Meet Johanna (aka Miss Kuiper)
Hey teacher friend!
I'm Johanna and I am on a mission to help math teachers engage students academically using my signature engagement method that helps students deeply understand and love math.
I know the struggle of wanting the best for your students, but not having the time or energy to do all the things.
That's where I come in! I am here to solve your problems, math and otherwise. Together we can meet your students where they are at and guide them towards comprehensive understanding. We'll engage your students, make math meaningful, and watch them master math concepts!
And with that, I'll calc-u-later!

Here's what teachers are saying...
I’m so happy I have found Johanna’s course! This is just what I needed to transform my classroom to a more engaging and positive learning environment. Johanna does a great job defining new terminology and providing examples for what these ideas look like in a real classroom setting. I wish I had found this course sooner!
- Malia R.
I love the length of videos. I have gained a lot of new ideas and materials. I have really enjoyed the Q&A sessions. I really appreciate everything you have provided and all your wonderful ideas.
- Cathy E.
Thank you so much and thank you for sharing so many great ideas. I love the games you play with the students. I'm a very hands on learner and will be teaching 5th grade math for the 1st time. Math is not my thing, so I'm trying all kinds of ways to engage students. I love all the great ideas that I can use in my classroom.

LET'S TALK DETAILS!
Here's what you'll learn...
Module 1 -Â Building the Foundation
By the end of this module, you’ll have the core tools and classroom shifts you need to override apathy, build student confidence, and create a space where math feels safe and worth trying.
Here's what you're going to learn:
- The overview of the COMET Method
- Powerful phrases to continue student thinking
- How to override apathy and build math confidence
- Key components of that will change the classroom atmosphereÂ
Module 3 - Open Problems
By the end of this module, you’ll be able to craft open-ended math tasks that challenge your students to think deeply, justify their reasoning, and grow into true problem-solvers.
Here's what you're going to learn:
- Open vs Closed Problems
- Why open problems allow students to become better mathematicians
- How to create open problems
- Real examples from my classroom
Module 5 - Erasability Increases Ability
By the end of this module, you’ll know exactly how to use whiteboards and erasable tools to boost student engagement, lower anxiety, and turn your math class into a try-it-and-see-what-happens kind of space.
Here's what you're going to learn:
- Why erasability plays a role in student engagement
- Materials you need to maximize erasability's benefits
- Specific types of activities that incorporate whiteboards
- How to set up routines and structure with whiteboards
