As part of MIND's mission to mathematically equip all students, we have created free instructional resources to support schools and families. Here you’ll find workbooks, supplemental materials, MathMINDs conversations, and resources to deepen learning and inspire mathematical thinking.
ST Math guidebooks are free for families to support your students' math learning in the classroom and at home. Inside is a collection of hands-on activities, games, and math stories to practice and explore math concepts.
Developing Our MathMINDs is a series of conversations and resources that explore math outside of the classroom. This series is intended to be a journey of growth with families over several weeks.

It's normal for your student to feel some frustration when learning gets harder—we call that productive struggle, or learning from mistakes. When students reach a challenging problem, they may ask for your help.
Watch this video to see how you can ask questions that will help guide your child's critical thinking and problem-solving.
The Problem Solving Process guides students to develop persistence and increase their independent problem solving skills. Ask questions to help students lead their learning and understand that their thinking is an important part of solving problems. Download the PDF poster and hang it where students are learning.
