PEMDice, the “Order of Operations Game,” is an excellent resource for expanding mathematical thinking in a fun, engaging way. It is a perfect fit for kids at home who enjoys a challenge at any level. It can start simply, and evolve into a remarkably complex puzzle.
Spatial ability or visualization is essential in engineering and scientific fields. It is the skill of understanding where objects are in space in relation to each other and how they interact. Geometiles is a tool for children to develop spatial awareness either in a self-directed or teacher-directed way. Whichever way you use Geometiles, they give children an opportunity to develop resourcefulness and hone their problem solving skills.
What brought you to this project? Why did you think there was a need for an early algebra curriculum?
We recognized that, generally, students are not prepared for the kind of math that they are doing in middle school and high school, and that algebra is really the gatekeeper for post-secondary education and entering the job market. We found that by spending just a little bit of time building early algebraic concepts in elementary grades, we can significantly improve children’s algebra readiness as they enter middle grades, and this has the potential to transform their success in school mathematics.
The Linear Graphs Algebra Game is an interactive way to teach key algebra concepts to your students in grades 8+. This card game has 12 sets of matching cards, each set includes 6 cards showing multiple representations of the same equation. This is a great tool to use in a small group or whole class.
I like to think of number sense as the linchpin to learning mathematics well. It plays a critical role in students’ confidence and risk taking. It helps them determine the reasonableness of their solutions and tinker with strategies and approaches when their solutions to problems are off. Number sense enables students to be flexible and efficient with both their computation and reasoning.
It’s hard to believe that 2018 is here, and we’re quickly approaching the 100th day of school. When I first started working with elementary school teachers, the concept of a 100 days celebration was foreign to me—it wasn’t something that we did in high school. Over time, I’ve come to appreciate this tradition and the mathematical opportunities it brings. In honor of 100 days of learning this school year, here are a few ideas for your 100th day activities. Try them out and let us know what you think!
The Math Standards highlight number lines as a critical model to build flexibility and understanding, and we know that number lines can be used for a variety of concepts across grades. Unfortunately, students cannot interact with number lines in a way that allows them to touch and manipulate the parts the way they can with, say, Base Ten blocks or Rekenreks.
Are you looking for a new way to teach or review integer addition and subtraction with students? These hands-on activities can help students build a solid conceptual understanding of integer operations!
A few weeks ago, we shared a new tool for Unifix cubes, the corner cube. This week I wanted to introduce you to something else that’s new in the world of Unifix: the Jumbo Unifix cube. My three-year-old recently got into my box of Unifix cubes and was having a good time building with them, until I handed him the jumbo cubes. His eyes lit up and he immediately went to work with the larger cubes. Bigger than our traditional Unifix cubes, these are perfect for smaller hands in preschool and kindergarten classrooms. They are also popular with special education teachers and occupational therapists for students who are still developing their fine motor skills.
