As a student, I was more of an math/biology type of student, and on the opposite end of the spectrum, not being artsy and creative, it is hard to visualize a good representation of math in a creative way. I am more of a visual/audio learner though, so visual diagrams like pie charts and diagrams representing the word problem always helped me. I think adding visuals and diagrams, like those seen on trigonometry problems, would help those types of student a little bit. For me, math was always really interesting with science because everything seems to connect and fit like a puzzle to me. I think explaining real-life concepts that we use that type of math for could also benefit students. Again, not being a creative person such as yourself, it is hard to make creative and artsy representations of anything for me, though with your personality, hopefully you can bounce you ideas off of what I liked about math as a student.

I remember using shapes and grouping my equations so I had a visual representation. I think using different colors is also beneficial to see differences in the equation. I would suggest whiteboard time so students can draw equations out.
