These lessons go far beyond your typical math drill/skill/learn-a-new-formula. The iMath section gives you a wonderful inspirational math lesson for each day of the week. One of my very favorites listed is an app called Dragon Box…it is truly so brilliant for teaching students algebraic concepts and math thinking without any numbers or mathematical symbols at all! You’ll find some old favorites, but likely be introduced to something new to use with your class. The links to math games and apps is really helpful. The articles and research included show that math is for all of us, but our mindset may need a bit of a shift! What I love about the articles is the way they quickly dispel so many myths about maths, I guarantee you’ve heard all of this from parents over the years and now you have research to share to help them understand the truth about mathematical thinking and brain science. These are also great for reading with your older students who may assume that math is not their gig. How to integrate YouCubed into your classroom: There are SO many resources that can transform your classroom! I love the articles and research as references to send parents throughout the year. There are 5 days of lessons, each one comes with a lesson plan, video, and list of materials needed. My favorite portion of YouCubed is the Week of iMath. Outstanding ideas that you can use RIGHT NOW! Links to really wonderful math apps and games, videos and radio shows, tasks (also known as mathematical brain teasers), and visual mathematics resources. Fantastic (and approachable) articles about brain science, mathematical thinking, and mindset. What it is: Do you know about Stanford’s YouCubed? If you are a math teacher (and even if you aren’t) you need to know about this awesome resource! It is packed full of goodness for teachers and parents alike.
