A team of dedicated, experienced educators created this resource to support your Maths Lessons

In addition to individual student work time, use this activity to enhance learning through guided maths groups, whole class lessons, or remote learning assignments. 

If you have a mixture of above and below-level learners and ELL/ESL students, we have a few suggestions for keeping students on track with these concepts: 

🆘 Support Struggling Students

Allow students to use maths manipulatives.

➕ Challenge Fast Finishers

Write some trickier maths problems on the whiteboard for students who may finish this quickly.

🧑‍🏫 Group Learning

Project the slides onto a screen and work through them as a class by having students record their answers in their notebooks or mini whiteboards.
