This is a free resource for math teachers of PreK to Grade 3 around the world. This all-in-one-place teaching assistant can be a mentor for inexperienced math teachers, and a large instructional resource for all math teachers. Once you have the app in your phone, there is nothing further to download or link to. The app has short descriptions of 100 topics covering all areas of early math education. The topics are organized by strands and substrands in whichever math standard you prefer. The topics can also be displayed as part of a collection of learning pathways to aid in understanding how each topic relates to other topics. The 100 topics are linked to associated resources through the Resource Finder, which greatly reduces the time it takes to find ideas for your class. The resources are: - dozens of short 2-10 minute instructional routines - dozens of 1 to 3-period rich tasks - 150 math puzzles - 75 math games for the classroom - 59 annotated storybooks - a glossary of about 150 math terms This version of the app supports the math standards of Australia (vers. 9.0), US Common Core State Standards for Math, Ghana (2019), India NCRT Math, Kenya (2024), Texas (2012), and the UK (2020). This app is co developed by Early Family Math and IDEMS International.
