Explore how educators can strike the right balance between conceptual understanding and procedural fluency in math instruction. This blog highlights strategies for creating lessons that are rigorous yet accessible, helping students connect mathematical ideas to real-world applications while building confidence and mastery.
Discover strategies for narrowing focus on essential math concepts and ensuring coherence across lessons so students build deep understanding rather than surface-level knowledge. Learn how high-quality instructional materials can help sequence learning deliberately and connect ideas from fractions to functions so students stay engaged, purposeful, and ready to apply math in new contexts.
Every day, in classrooms across the globe, teachers change lives. A carefully chosen question, a word of encouragement, or a well-sequenced lesson can transform mathematics from symbols on a page into a language for understanding the world. This series is written for you. It translates rigorous research into practical strategies you can use with confidence, strategies that are evidence-based, teacher-friendly, and grounded in classroom realities.
Unpack the essential elements of effective math instruction with this in-depth eBook that centers the teacher as a skilled artisan and instructional materials as their tools.
Crissie Ricketts and Kelly Hemmerling, authors of Fast Track to a 5 for AP® Precalculus, share their exam review strategies based on many years teaching AP® mathematics courses, and their experiences as leaders in the AP® Precalculus exam reading. This webinar will focus on how to help students with study strategies, understanding the structure of each of the four free-response task models, and suggest assignments for AP exam prep.
As a former math teacher, I understand the importance of creating a stimulating and conducive learning environment for our students. A well-organized and inviting classroom can significantly impact student engagement and academic success. Here are some valuable tips for setting up your math classroom for the new school year, suitable for all grade levels.
Revamp your math review sessions with these fun & creative activities! From escape rooms to student-led mini-lessons, inject excitement into end-of-year reviews. Check out these engaging ideas and make math memorable!
Today’s learners will be tomorrow’s leaders, and the conversations that unfold within the classroom serve as the bedrock upon which students will build their lives in the years ahead. While from the outside, the roles of educator and student as giver vs receiver of knowledge (respectively) is clear, we as educators know that we learn as much from our students as they learn from us (sometimes more)…
If you or your school are still deliberating whether to offer AP® Precalculus next year, this webinar will help! Paul Battaglia, author, consultant, and teacher, will guide participants through ways in which they can begin with a single question stem and then branch into various topics and/or representations. How can a question about the linear velocity of a Ferris wheel turn into a deeper task with multiple parts, covering multiple Precalculus topics? How can you take three basic polynomial functions and branch from the analytical to the numerical to the graphical, AND cover asymptotes, exponential functions, and logarithmic equations?
View this webinar to see how it’s done! This type of questioning is guaranteed to have your students thinking laterally, and THAT will level up any Precalculus class.
