Promoting Math Discourse to Improve Student Outcomes in Early Elementary Grades
Family and Classroom Playlists: Building Blocks for Math Success
Family and Classroom Playlists are K–2 math learning activities that spark mathematical thinking and reinforce key skills through play-based, collaborative learning. Aligned to any high-quality curriculum or state standards, they help teachers differentiate instruction and give students engaging, hands-on opportunities to apply what they learn.
Family Playlists extend learning into the home with multilingual access and flexible formats (text, audio, and visuals) designed to meet the needs of diverse families.
Classroom Playlists promote collaboration during math centers, giving students structured ways to explore concepts and share their mathematical reasoning with peers.
