Description

Make Math Moments is a professional development platform for K-12 math educators, founded by Kyle Pearce and Jon Wray, focusing on fostering deep conceptual understanding through engaging, problem-based lessons and a unique framework for effective math programs, offering podcasts, courses, a virtual summit, and resources to build resilient, confident math learners and teachers. 

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.
  • Problem-Based Tasks: Resources, often in a 3-Act structure (Question, Gather Info, Reveal), designed to spark curiosity and sense-making, with tasks ranging from Grade 3-10.
  • 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.
  • 3-Acts: A proven framework for problem-based lessons.
  • Student-Centered Discourse: Encouraging student-to-student discussions and ownership of learning.
