Students ‘don’t need an answer, they need help with the process,’ and combining ChatGPT with Wolfram Alpha is one way to guide them through it.

A rich mix of assessments gives students creative opportunities to showcase learning—and delivers a more comprehensive picture of what they know.

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.

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

When middle school students are given the opportunity to deeply explore what it means to be a changemaker, they see a path toward making a difference in their own community—and beyond.

Through practical exercises in earning and spending, students can discover the complexities of personal finance and practice math in the process.

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.

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

When kids collaborated on making a sensory path for their school, what started as an occupational therapy zone became a welcoming, playful space that benefited all students.

To encourage kids to reach their fullest potential in math, consider adopting these four mindsets that help every student to thrive.

Origami, the ancient art of paper folding, has applications in the modern-day classroom for teaching geometry, thinking skills, fractions, problem solving, and fun science.

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.

Project-based learning can cultivate collaboration, creativity, and critical thinking across the grades.
