The Mixtape Analogy.
First and foremost, a mixtape is about music. Mixtape Math is all about incorporating music into the classroom and teaching through music. Secondly, when you listen to a mixtape you never know what's coming up next. This philosophy plays out in the classroom through engagement and spontaneity. No two days are exactly the same. Lastly, making a mixtape is all about including your favorite songs. In the classroom, students should have choice and ownership, and should be given the opportunity to explore their passions.
