March 2021 Recap
As we enter into spring, it’s a nice time to stop and reflect on how much we’ve grown as educators during the past year. With some of you solely teaching virtually, some exclusively in-person, and others juggling both, you’ve done a great job in such challenging circumstances.
If there's anything we can do to make your life easier, please let us know.
I know that you’re giving everything you can to your schools right now, leaving very little time to read through emails and blogs. For Almy Education’s last March blog post, I’ve recapped all of our March communications (newsletters, blogs, emails, etc.), all in one centralized location.

Feedback for Learning
Formative assessments take many different forms: exit tickets, quizzes, rough drafts of written assignments, prototypes for projects, and more. Whenever you have evidence of students learning, it can be used as a formative assessment.
Project based learning
In this blog, we explore some of the benefits of engaging students in PBL and provide practical advice for how to implement PBL successfully. We will focus on PBL in relation to mathematics teaching and learning and address transitional math.
Graphs in the World
Below are our free Graphs in the World handouts for March. Print them and show them via a document camera or just pull up the PDFs for your class. These activities are great exercises for the beginning of your class, whether they're remote or in-person.
