Week of Inspirational Math(s)

The Week of Inspirational Maths (WIM) resources are free lessons and videos about math and mindset designed to inspire students. They are ideal for the first week of school, to get students excited for the year ahead, but can be used any time.  On this page, you can build your own WIM week by selecting one video, one resource for creating a positive maths community, and one task per day and adding them to your playlist.  Then click “See Summary” to play videos, download materials and save/share your WIM week!  Check out these pre-made playlists curated by the youcubed team for first grade, middle school and high school and share your playlist on social media with #WeekofInspirationalMath!

We are really excited about the new WIM, but we know that many of you are accustomed to the old WIM and might still want to find those files.  The old resources are all on the new page, but sometimes they have new names and you might have to search for them.  So, if you would rather just look up a lesson plan from the old WIM, you can find the full set of files here.  Files organized by week and grade can be found by clicking on the links below:
