Accessing Ready Classroom Mathematics outside of School
New Teacher Dashboard Coming Soon in SLDS
SLDS will soon have a new look when teachers log in. Instead of the classic look, teachers will see a new dashboard (similar to the one below) with tiles that teachers will use to access the various applications. When a teacher first logs in, a message will be displayed regarding the new dashboard. Until teachers become familiar with this new, customizable look, they will have the option to revert back to the classic SLDS version. Click here for more detailed information.

Computational Thinking to Strengthen Elementary Mathematics: 2-Part Series
Part 1: Patterning and Abstraction
Sep 18, 2019 - Webinar, 4:00 - 5:00
In this edWebinar, Sara Delano Moore, Ph.D., Director of Professional Learning at ORIGO Education, will provide an overview of computational thinking and explore the components of patterning and abstraction in more depth. She will introduce you to problems and learning experiences which develop this thinking with age-appropriate tasks. See how these unplugged tasks develop student thinking around mathematical structure and quantitative reasoning.
