Dear Math Enthusiasts,

Teaching Tip of the Week: Bring math to life with storytelling! Middle school students thrive when lessons are tied to a narrative, turning abstract tasks into real-world adventures. For example, in a Thanksgiving-themed activity, students can practice coordinate plane skills by following a fun storyline about finding a missing turkey. Story-driven activities help students stay engaged while solidifying math skills, especially during seasonal transitions when attention spans can dip. Using interactive digital escape rooms is an effective way to keep students actively engaged as they solve the mystery and apply critical thinking.

This Week’s Highlight: Looking for a no-prep, engaging activity to reinforce plotting points on the coordinate plane? Try my Thanksgiving Math Digital Escape Room! In this interactive adventure, students solve the mystery of the stolen Thanksgiving turkey while practicing coordinate plane skills. Each problem solved brings them closer to discovering the “kitchen thief”!
