Dice games are great for developing math reasoning skills and computational fluency, and can launch explorations about probability.

When I want to use children’s literature to teach math, I look for books with unforgettable characters, colorful language, and rich images.

Listening is so important in math class, but it is so difficult for students (and adults!).

For teachers who are teaching virtually or face-to-face, this resource makes for a perfect math warm up or routine.

The lesson challenged the students to ask one of the most important questions they can ask in math class, “Does this make sense?"

A student spontaneously told the class, “This is the best math and science lesson I’ve ever done!” That’s enough to make any teacher smile.

We explore card games across the grade levels that are easy to implement whether you are teaching remotely or face to face.

Having a specific time to practice communication skills is essential in online environments where distractions at home can inhibit learning.

Even in face-to-face environments, our English learners face a triple challenge in math class.

A few principles underlie the successes we saw in online classes: take your time, keep it simple, and value relationships over everything.

We hope this collection of activities will support you in building your virtual math community.

Learning about time is an interesting context for developing an array of skills, as well as providing a model for thinking about fractions.

We can see how a good story has the power to motivate, engage, and bring meaning to mathematics.

We explore what it means to understand a math concept, show examples of what understanding looks like, and share tips from local teachers.

Number talks are an essential classroom practice and, with a few adaptations, can be facilitated in-person, online, and asynchronously.

A good math assessment question provides opportunities for students to demonstrate conceptual understanding.
