Students can use an old ELA tactic—word sorts—to understand how different math concepts are related, allowing them to decode increasingly complex problems.

Every child possesses vast mathematics potential, says Jo Boaler, Stanford University mathematics professor and best-selling author—but for them to access it, we need to rethink how we teach math.

Women and people of color are underrepresented in STEM fields, and this can change if all students feel they belong in STEM classrooms.

Stereotypes and cultural norms dampen girls’ interest in STEM, but educators can counter the disparities with small changes to their practice.

Our periodically updated list of beautiful, free posters—along with a few good reasons why you should display them in your classroom.

Science, technology, engineering, and math are more important than ever, so we’ve put together a list of books to encourage girls to persevere in these subjects.

Outdoor learning labs can engage students in hands-on activities, while providing a safer way to attend school in person.

By asking students to explore the history of scientific discoveries, we get them to view their world with more wonder—and more skepticism—and condition their minds to think about causes and effects.
