Selecting culturally responsive materials, including multicultural and diverse resources, is critical for supporting all students.

Family engagement happens when educators and schools collaborate with families to collectively support their child's learning in meaningful ways, both at school and at home.

Learning about students' cultures and connecting them to instructional practices helps foster a sense of belonging and mitigate Stereotype Threat.

When students create their own number and word problems, they connect math concepts to their background knowledge and lived experiences.

Providing students a voice in their learning is critical for making learning meaningful.

When teachers connect math to the students' world, students see how math is relevant and applicable to their daily lives.

Teachers sharing math-to-self, math-to-math, and math-to-world connections models this schema building.

Building positive and trusting relationships with learners allows them to feel safe; a sense of belonging; and that their academic, cognitive, and social and emotional needs are supported.

Teachers can help students understand that learning involves effort, mistakes, and reflection by teaching them about their malleable brain and modeling their own learning process.

Setting overall goals, as well as smaller goals as steps to reaching them, encourages consistent, achievable progress and helps students feel confident in their skills and abilities.

As students solve problems in a group, they learn new strategies and practice communicating their mathematical thinking.

The flipped classroom has two parts: cooperative group activities in class and digitally-based individual instruction out of class.

Actively and authentically encouraging all students to seek support, ask questions, and advocate for what they believe in creates a safe space for risk-taking and skill development and supports a Sense of Belonging.

Students deepen their understanding and gain confidence in their learning when they explain to and receive feedback from others.

Rhyming, alliteration, and other sound devices reinforce math skills development by activating the mental processes that promote memory.

Sentence frames or stems can serve as language support to enrich students' participation in academic discussions.

When students have meaningful discussions about math and use math vocabulary, they develop the thinking, questioning, and explanation skills needed to master mathematical concepts.

Adding motions to complement learning activates more cognitive processes for recall and understanding.

Teachers support language development by using and providing vocabulary and syntax that is appropriately leveled (e.g., using simple sentences when introducing complex concepts).

Wait time, or think time, of three or more seconds after posing a question increases how many students volunteer and the length and accuracy of their responses.
