These materials enable students to work in groups by providing flexible seating and STEM projects, as they connect challenging ideas to what they already know in order to think deeply. They will make their thinking visible through graphing activities, thinking maps, and sketchnotes. Cooperative activities like a marble run, mental math games, hands-on manipulatives such as fraction cubes and spinner wheels, and projects in the math classroom encourage learning that lasts and can be applied in real-life and classroom situations.
The resources will help me incorporate culturally engaging activities, such as Navajo Nation math circles, along with code and cipher cracking lessons, math puzzles and brain teasers, and to connect students to abstract concepts and stretch their thinking. My students will learn where math exists in our lives and discover how to apply what they learn. The science of learning shows us that our brains are resilient and malleable, and are capable of high-level thinking even after the varied learning environments throughout the pandemic.
Finally, some of the materials focus on meeting students' basic needs: snacks and comfortable seating go a long way in giving students access to learning.
