=Math ACCESS (Academic Content and Communication Equals Student Success) Project:=

This project aims to enhance student mathematical understanding by focusing on verbal and written discourse. ACCESS teachers work collaboratively to design and implement higher order thinking (H.O.T.) math lessons that support student participation in explaining, justifying, and problem solving.

Below is a link to the HOT lesson plans: []
