This Education Week Spotlight on Building Foundational Math Skills and Beyond is a collection of articles hand-picked by our editors.
Study after study tells us that early math education sets the foundation for a lifetime. Young learners gravitate towards math. How do we take advantage of this and instill in them a love for the subject? This Spotlight explores how teachers have tackled this, taught skills like fractions in new ways, and engaged their students to make math something they enjoy. We’ll venture into games in the classroom, building on young learners’ curiosity, and how addressing students gaps as early as kindergarten makes it more likely a student will be successful in future years.
