Students also learned more science and social studies when they wrote essays about those subjects, researchers say.

De nationella matematiska målen styr bilden av vad som ska undervisas i förskolan utan metodanvisningar. Forskaren Laurence Delacour har undersökt hur dessa mål tolkas och införs i olika aktiviteter med barnen.

Students to show the work they did to solve math equations, writes math teacher Michelle Russell. In this blog post, Russell shares a grading rubric that she says helps ensure students understand math concepts and are able to communicate that knowledge.

Data science can help apply math concepts to students' daily lives, making the subject applicable to STEM and other subjects, including public policy, social justice and health care, writes Pamela Burdman, executive director of the nonprofit Just Equations. Analyzing data teaches students how to think critically, Burdman writes in the commentary, and the results of…
