Make Math Fun

Math can be fun. (I'm serious. It can be.) In this session, I'm going to show you 5 different resources that you can easily add to your classroom. Each of the resources can be added to your existing math course without deviating too far from your existing math curriculum. The routines that I'll show you are great for engagement, collaboration, problem solving, and fostering math talk with your students...and they're fun!
