Let’s talk about one of the most underestimated math tools out there: your fingers.

In this episode, we’re flipping the script on something that’s often seen as a sign of struggle. We’ll unpack why finger use in math deserves more credit, how it connects to student success, and what it might look like to embrace this tool instead of rushing students past it.

By the end of this episode, you’ll have a whole new perspective on the humble hand, and you might just start celebrating finger counting as a badge of math confidence instead of something to hide.
