Mathalicious Mathalicious lessons teach standards-based math through real-world topics that students care about. In the United States, 61% of middle school students say they’d rather take out the garbage than do their math homework. If you ask students why they dislike math so much they’ll often say, “I don’t know what it means or when I’ll ever use it.” To many, math is just a bunch of random steps to memorize and regurgitate.
But math is about more than just numbers and equations. Math is a tool to explore the world around us, and that’s exactly what Mathalicious does. Mathalicious provides teachers with lessons that help them teach math in a way that engages their students–in a way that helps students understand how the world works. |
