What Make Math Moments Offers:
- Online Workshops & PD: Self-paced and live sessions for teachers to learn techniques for engaging lessons, building understanding, and developing problem-solving skills.

- Academy: A membership offering access to tasks, mini-courses, and ongoing support for K-12 educators.
- Podcasts: Conversations with educational leaders discussing strategies for transforming math classrooms.
- Books: Resources to help teachers understand big ideas in math across grade levels.
Grade Level Focus:
- While content examples often span Grades 2-10 (elementary to high school), the principles and resources are designed to be useful for any K-12 teacher or administrator.
- They help teachers bridge conceptual gaps, making learning relevant and accessible from early grades through secondary math.
Key Ideas:
- Spark Curiosity, Fuel Sense-Making: The core philosophy is to get students thinking deeply rather than just memorizing procedures.
