Engaging digital and print math lessons for K–12 educators

Remember memorizing? That is, being a student in a math classroom focused mainly on teacher lectures, repetitive problem sets, and rote memorization?

Fortunately for today’s students, educators are increasingly recognizing that when it comes to math curriculum, engagement must come first—and that when it does, better learning outcomes follow. This shift toward student-centered, engaging math instruction is paving the way for deeper understanding, greater retention, and even a lifelong love of math.

Engaged students develop a deeper understanding of math concepts, retain information better, think critically, and are more likely to solve problems creatively. They tend to have a more positive attitude toward math, which reduces potential math anxiety and helps them build confidence. What’s more, access to engaging math programs promotes collaborative learning and the development of communication skills, supporting students in all classrooms (and beyond).

That’s why it’s important to find math products, activities, and instructional materials that center student engagement. Students need tools designed to not just teach them how to calculate, but also actively involve them in their own learning journeys, making math both meaningful and fun.

Free math lessons and more: Meet Desmos Classroom

Built by a dedicated team of math educators, Desmos Classroom is a free teaching and learning platform packed with interactive lessons that place student engagement at the center of instruction.

What are Desmos Classroom activities like in practice? Well, for starters, students take control of their learning! Students learn by interacting with mathematical representations, illustrations of the world, and their classmates. They represent their developing ideas with sketches, text responses, card sorts, number responses, multiple-choice questions, and more.

With a free account, you can access both customizable and pre-made Desmos Classroom—with new content appearing frequently for you to add to your lesson plans. An easy-to-use dashboard and real-time visuals allow you to monitor and react to student work. Creative teacher facilitation tools also help you promote collaborative and intentional classroom conversations. For example, the optional Anonymize feature reduces self-consciousness and competition, encouraging all students to participate and interact freely. Check out more examples below!

K–5 Lesson: Awesome Aquariums

A laptop screen displays a bar graph comparing aquarium animal numbers (goldfish, frogs, shrimp) with the prompt "Compare: How are the representations similar or different?" This visual aid is an integral part of comprehensive math programs designed to enhance analytical skills.

In the Awesome Aquariums activity, students experiment with bar graphs and tape diagrams to represent and compare the quantities of various aquatic inhabitants. Teachers guide students in a Notice and Wonder activity, with an optional Think-Pair-Share.

6–12 Lesson: DinoPops

A computer screen displays an educational activity about making scaled copies of DinoPops in different box sizes. Perfect for math teachers, the activity involves completing a table for box width and height.

In the DinoPops activity, students use proportions to understand what size boxes will fit (proportionally) varying sizes of Dino Pops. They’ll understand how graphs can represent proportional relationships, use graphs to make predictions, and use communications skills to describe and defend their work.

Dyscalculia: What educators should know

Two children seated at a table engage with colorful number cubes and a pencil beside a worksheet—a delightful way to explore math. This playful setup subtly acts as an informal dyscalculia screener, helping spot characteristics of dyscalculia in young learners.

Some kids love math. Some kids like math. Some kids struggle with math, or struggle with math anxiety. And some kids have dyscalculia, a specific learning disorder that affects one’s ability to understand numbers and learn math facts.

As awareness has continued to grow, educators today are curious to know: What are the characteristics of dyscalculia? How can I help a child with dyscalculia? What should I know about dyscalculia screeners? We’re here to provide some answers.

Dyscalculia: What it is and is not

According to the Child Mind Institute, dyscalculia (sometimes called “developmental dyscalculia”) is a term used to describe specific learning disabilities that affect a child’s ability to understand, learn, and perform math and number-based operations.

Honora Wall, Ed.D., founder of the Dyscalculia Training and Research Institute, calls it “a type of neurodivergence: A difference in brain development or function.”

That’s an important distinction: Dyscalculia is a neurological condition that affects numerical cognition and processing. It has nothing to do with being “bad at math” or not “trying hard enough.”
Between 5 and 7% of elementary school-aged children may have dyscalculia, which is believed to affect girls and boys equally.

It is important to note that not all difficulties in math are caused by dyscalculia. Dyslexia, ADHD, and other conditions can also pose challenges for math students.

Nor is dyscalculia simply “math dyslexia.” Dyscalculia and dyslexia are entirely separate learning disorders that affect different areas of cognition and involve distinct difficulties.

How dyscalculia might present itself

Dyscalculia manifests in various ways in the math classroom. Here are some examples of how it can appear:

  • When engaging in activities like games involving dice, students may need to count the individual dots to recognize a number rolled, rather than intuitively recognizing it.
  • Students might have difficulty connecting the numerical symbol “5” (for example) to the word “five.” Making this connection is essential for associating numbers with their meanings.
  • Students may be delayed in learning to count, or lose track or rely on visual aids (like their fingers) when they count.

Such students may also have a hard time:

  • Solving math problems.
  • Recognizing or creating patterns.
  • Learning basic math functions.
  • Estimating how long a task will take.
  • Processing visual-spatial ideas such as charts and graphs, or even telling left from right.
  • Remembering phone numbers or zip codes.
  • Playing games that involve counting or keeping score.
  • Telling time.

The connection between mathematics anxiety and dyscalculia

Math anxiety is an emotional response to math that presents as apprehension or fear. Some call it mathematics phobia. It may include physical symptoms such as sweating, rapid heartbeat, shortness of breath, and other physical symptoms of anxiety. It’s similar to other types of anxiety, but it’s exclusive to math.

But, most important in this context, it’s not itself a neurological or cognitive condition.

So dyscalculia and math anxiety are not the same, but they may go hand in hand—perhaps with one exacerbating the other. Students with dyscalculia might develop math anxiety due to repeated challenges and frustrations in learning math.

Understanding this connection—and working to alleviate math anxiety—is crucial for educators aiming to create a supportive learning environment.

Tips for assisting students with dyscalculia

Here are some practical strategies educators can use to support students with dyscalculia:

  • Teach positive self-talk and persistence: Encourage students to develop a “growth mindset,” reinforcing that effort and persistence (as well as making mistakes) are essential to overcoming challenges.
  • Provide organizational aids: Use graph paper to help students line up numbers correctly, which aids in precision during calculations.
  • Use manipulatives: Tools like counters and blocks can make math feel more tangible, helping students grasp abstract concepts.
  • Focus on singular tasks: Present one math problem at a time to prevent students from feeling overwhelmed and allow for focused attention.
  • Allow more time: Give students the opportunity to work at their own pace, acknowledging that they may need more time to process numerical information.
  • Grant calculator access: Allowing calculators can reduce stress and help students solve problems more efficiently.
  • Make math fun and engaging: Incorporate interactive platforms such as Desmos Classroom to create an enjoyable and interactive learning experience.
