STEM

With these scaffolds to support reading and writing skill development, all students can thrive in elementary STEM classes.

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.

When teachers find creative ways to integrate reading and writing with math curricula, it humanizes the subject matter and allows kids to process unfamiliar material linguistically. 

An inquiry-based, immersive approach can spark early elementary teachers’ enthusiasm for teaching this critical subject.

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

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.

These tools provide creative ways to integrate coding and digital literacy skills into classrooms across a variety of subjects and grade levels.

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.

Picture books are an excellent way to introduce young students to science and engineering concepts.

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.

If we want to close the gender gap in science, we need to look at the invisible forces that shape classroom culture.

To help more kids thrive in math class, keep student identities in mind during the lesson planning stage.

Educators in K-12 classrooms are exploring unique ways to bridge the gap between math, science, and literacy.

Teachers can use elements of the Harry Potter books and movies to inspire students of all ages to engage with scientific concepts.
