KEY IDEAS FOR USING MATH IN LEARNING

STRUGGLE -- Not always student-generated

Drawing conclusions and defending those with DATA -- Based on Evidence!

Stories are powerful -- especially when linked to evidence

Stories get kids interested!!

Consider using case studies of the time period you're studying in Social Studies -- These can be powerful. i.e. Numerology etc. of our Founding Fathers

It's a real challenge to get a great product with just 1 aspect/strand of math
