School’s out and the sun’s out – and so are our newest math skills! We’ve added 33 brand-new ways for students to make a splash in math this summer. Check out some of our favorites below!
3rd grade: Understand multiplication
We’ve added a whole new category in third grade to help students understand multiplication on a conceptual level. These skills incorporate visual models, such as counting equal groups (E.1) and using number lines to write multiplication sentences (E.7).
Kindergarten (A.2, B.2, C.4) and pre-K (C.4, D.4): Count using stickers
Young students will love this skill, where they’ll learn how to count by placing the correct number of stickers onto fun and colorful pictures! Kindergarteners will also like our new drag-and-drop Venn diagram skill (N.6).
Precalculus: Identify an outlier (Z.4)
This interactive skill helps high school students learn to identify outliers—which can be a tricky concept to teach since an outliers aren’t rigidly defined. We’ve also added two new categories for precalculus students: nonlinear inequalities and real numbers. Explore them here!
In addition to adding new skills, we’ve also given several existing ones a facelift! For example, check out the new look and feel of this 6th grade problem, Which is the better coupon? (G.1).
