Activity Gems for the 6–8 Classroom

The selected and adapted set of lessons incorporated in this series were chosen from NCTM’s Navigations series, with particular emphasis given to incorporating the Mathematics Teaching Practices in NCTM’s Principles to Actions: Ensuring Mathematical Success for All. Teachers can use these lessons to help their students build on the foundation of their earlier instruction, expand their mathematical thinking into new areas, and advance in understanding and confidence.
