This page will link to sample Learning Experiences for each of the key ideas in three grade strands (K-2; 3-5; and 6-8). All materials have been developed by mentors with teachers from their district or area as part of ongoing professional development provided by the NYS K-8 Mathematics Mentor Network.

Each Learning Experience will start with a complete description including assessment rubrics specific to the task, followed by worksheets (if applicable) and samples of student work. Each file applies to more than one key idea, but has dominant features for the key idea where it is placed. All files are in Acrobat Reader (PDF) format.
