Begun in 1995 in celebration of NCTM's 75th anniversary, WLME has grown into an annual event with an estimated 1 million students participating. We are pleased to be supporting this event with online activities, including specially designed math lesson plans for teachers to use in classroom interactions with the math event. These activities are designed to encourage students to work together creatively to solve rich and challenging problems. Teachers can use activities as presented, or they can tailor the activities to meet specific classroom needs. And teachers don't have to wait until April 27 to use these activities in the classroom.
Many teachers adapt the past event activities into other units of study throughout the school year.
In addition to our math lessons and activities, we have prepared a complementary series of math-related news articles that will appear on the Riverdeep.net homepage in the weeks leading up to the April 27 event. We'd like to hear your news and success stories.
