Engaging Mathematics, Volume I complements teachers existing
resources and provides—
 Rigorous problem-solving tasks;
 Manipulative-based tasks;
 Vocabulary development tasks; and
 Sorting and classifying tasks.

A resource that supports high-quality, research-based practices by providing activities
that can be used for various purposes, including—

 Engaging warm-ups and opening tasks that draw students into relevant
and challenging mathematics;
 Instructional support for all students to help learners articulate, refine, and retain
important mathematical concepts, processes, and skills;
 Short-cycle, formative assessments that provide immediate and ongoing
feedback to guide instruction for the teacher and learning for the student; and
 Supplemental tasks to support intervention strategies.
