To support fellow educators during this extremely challenging year, I’m posting a brand new, downloadable math resource every day through the end of the school year. The purpose is to provide encouragement, to share a brand new classroom resource every day, and to promote joy in the math classroom.
In the midst of the exhaustion, my hope has always been that this will be a bright spot in your year. I also hope that the joy you hear from your students while you are using these resources will be a beacon of hope in a difficult year. I encourage you to lean in and listen to the math talk, be amazed by your students’ insights, celebrate when you hear the cheering, and feel the wonder and the joy.
I started this effort on November 1, posting a new resource every school day – here is Part 1, Part 2, and Part 3 – and I originally planned to continue until May 1. I was committed to posting something new each day for that entire span of 6 months. However, I’ve decided to extend this effort through May 28. Each day, you’ll continue to find a brand new resource that you can download and use in your classroom.
I’m sticking with you until the end of the school year!
Wishing you many moments of mathematical joy!
All my best,
Steve
