The Indiana Academic Standards place a high priority on contextualizing the mathematics students study. This series of videos examines how educators can assist students in seeing addition and subtraction in the world around them. Rather than reviewing specific strategies or tools students use in solving these problems, these videos address ways educators can construct problems for students to solve. In addition, a variety of contexts for Grades K-8 is discussed so the problems students complete are real-world but also realistic and relevant to their lives.
