🎉📈 We're 3/4 of the way there!

Thanks to the generosity of our community, the Mathematics Education Trust (MET) has raised $36,396 toward our $50,000 goal.

As we celebrate MET's 50th anniversary, we're making a final push to exceed our goal.

Remember, every gift helps fund grants, scholarships, and professional growth opportunities that support math educators and students across the country.

Help us reach the finish line. Give today.

Explore and the effect they have on regression curves and residuals.

As you experiment with different values, how is the slope changed? What values do not impact the slope as drastically? What generalizations can you make about outliers?

In this MTLT Focus (6-8) article, the context of fire and ice are used to introduce positive and negative .

The planet’s initial temperature is 0, and each player takes a turn laying either fire or ice cards on the planet. As the temperature gets closer to their goal, they need to determine the best card to either add or remove from the planet to reach their temperature (e.g., 24 – 3 ice = 27 degrees, like in the introduction) while avoiding their opponents’ temperatures.

Learn how to focus on what truly matters for student understanding.

📘 The new "Deciphering Math Standards: Uncovering the Big Ideas to Design Powerful Instruction and Assessments," co-published with the Teachers College Press, provides a transformative approach to K–8 mathematics instruction.

Rather than treating standards as a fixed checklist of skills to be executed, internationally recognized expert Marian Small demonstrates how to treat them as professional texts that require thoughtful interpretation.

By uncovering the "big ideas" behind the standards, educators can move beyond surface-level coverage to foster deeper mathematical thinking and lasting student understanding.
