Exemplars STEM bundle gives students the skills to solve complex challenges — preparing them to become the innovators the world will need.
Pairing our Library of rich math performance tasks and our suite of inquiry-based scientific investigations, this package lets you engage students fully in the exciting possibilities math and science hold.
As they solve these authentic problems and learn to assess their work, they’ll build on what they already know and discover brand-new strengths: the critical thinking, reasoning, and communication skills that will let them master tomorrow’s challenges.
