In the Environmental Science: Sustaining Your World – Waging War Against Food Waste take & teach lesson plan, students join National Geographic Explorer Tristram Stuart in an eye-opening investigation of global food waste and its environmental and social impacts.
In this blog, you’ll learn what types of feedback truly move learning forward, how math teachers can make it timely and actionable, and why the right comments, not more comments, make all the difference.
Mathematical discourse is the purposeful communication, through talk, reasoning, argumentation, and representations, that students and teachers engage in to build, test, and refine mathematical understanding together.
In Environmental Science: Sustaining Your World, students explore sustainable solutions to global hunger and climate change with National Geographic Explorer Dr. Jennifer Burney.
Mathematical modeling transforms math from abstract exercises into a tool for understanding and improving the world. When students connect mathematics to real-life problems, they discover its power to create change and develop the confidence to think critically and creatively.
This comprehensive physics mini‑lab lesson plan provides a collection of short, hands‑on investigations that guide students through key concepts.
Problem-solving is where mathematics comes to life. When students reason, explore multiple strategies, and justify their thinking, they build confidence and deeper understanding. This post explores why problem-solving must be central to instruction and how high-quality instructional materials support students in becoming resilient, capable mathematicians.
In Environmental Science: Sustaining Your World, students explore marine conservation through the work of National Geographic Explorer Enric Sala.
True fluency is not about recalling facts on demand; it’s an ongoing process of setting the right conditions for learning so that understanding grows. For students, procedural fluency is the ability to use procedures accurately, efficiently, and flexibly. Fluency isn’t about racing through drills; it’s about giving students a toolkit of strategies they can adapt with confidence.
Learn how strong conceptual foundations give mathematical procedures meaning and unlock deeper learning. This blog shares classroom-ready strategies that help students connect ideas, reason flexibly, and confidently apply mathematics to real-world contexts.
