Take math instruction to the next level by truly meeting the needs of ALL learners
Today's classrooms are more diverse than ever, and teachers face the challenge of meeting not only the academic needs of their students but also their social and emotional growth. Math Workshop Plus, Grades K-8 by Alison J. Mello and Dr. Nicki Newton is here to help educators elevate their math instruction for all learners by more intentionally integrating Universal Design for Learning (UDL) and Social and Emotional Learning (SEL) into the popular Math Workshop model.

It addresses unfinished learning, fostering positive math identities, and building the competencies students need to succeed academically and socially.
