This lesson from Daily Routines to Jump-Start Math Class, Middle School, helps students learn to analyze mathematic scenarios based upon their environment. Students will learn to apply mathematics concepts to real world situations that lead to solutions and reasoning.
This routine from Daily Routines to Jump-Start Math Class, Elementary, helps students determine the reasonability of their answers and determine efficient methods for estimating.
This routine from Daily Routines to Jump-Start Math Class, Elementary, helps students develop a more robust understanding of—and flexible thinking about—numbers and their relationships, which positions them for greater success when working with numbers.
This lesson from Daily Routines to Jump-Start Math Class, High School, allows student to work through multiple mathematical arguments in order to identify the errors in the argument. Students will have the opportunity analyze these errors in order promote higher level thinking in their path to finding the correct argument.
Use these sample language frames from Visible Learning for Mathematics, Grades K-12, in your mathematics class to guide your students to deeper understanding through a thorough explanation of their process.
Use these accountable talk moves from Visible Learning for Mathematics, Grades K-12, to constructively challenge your students' conclusions and misconceptions.
This excerpt from Visible Learning for Mathematics, Grades K-12, provides example questions that teachers can use to check for understanding—a crucial aspect of visible learning.
This excerpt from Visible Learning for Mathematics, Grades K-12, explains how making learning visible starts with teacher clarity and the strategic use of learning intentions and success criteria promote student self-reflection and metacognition.
Learn the strategies that build conceptual understanding of mathematical ideas and problem solving to help students demonstrate more than a year's worth of growth for every year spent in school. John Almarode and Kateri Thunder, authors of Teaching Mathematics in the Visible Learning Classroom, Grades K-2 and Grades 3-5, help participants learn how. By using the right approach at the right time you can design classroom experiences that maximize mathematics learning.
Use this template from the second edition of From STEM to STEAM to guide you as you design a STEAM unit across grade levels at your school.
In this sample excerpt from The Mathematics Lesson-Planning Handbook, Grades 6-8, learn how to construct your own learning intentions and success criterias for your mathematics lesson plans. These intentions help students take ownership of their learning.
Whether you will be building your STEAM physical space in your regular classroom setting, have an already-defined STEAM lab in your school, or are conceptualizing other ideas for STEAM physical spaces, consider the following excerpt from Step Into STEAM, Grades K-5, to understand what a STEAM classroom atmosphere looks like—and doesn’t look like.
