This page is the activity archive of the Children and Youth Unit (2008–2021), offering a variety of educational content, thinking games, and enrichment materials to foster curiosity and excellence in children and youth.
Aklim program trains mathematics teachers through the analysis of critical incidents from the classroom, which develop pedagogical judgment. On the page, you will find explanations of the method and access to a database of incidents including documentation of real situations, interpretations, and suggestions for response in real-time — an essential tool for every teacher aspiring to high pedagogical professionalism.
Learning in elementary school is much more than grades. The THM (Teaching with the Heart and Mind) program integrates cognitive, emotional, and social aspects into the regular curriculum. We accompany educational teams in building a learning environment that sees the child as a whole beyond academic achievements.
Teaching high-level mathematics in a classroom with different learning levels is a significant challenge. This research develops tools and skills that help teachers adjust the level of difficulty and challenge for each student, without compromising on pedagogical quality. The page presents information on the research findings and the tools developed for teachers.
The 5 Club brings together communities of teachers who teach at the 5-unit level. The goal is simple: to improve the quality of teaching and give teachers a stage for professional discourse, peer learning, and the integration of advanced technology in the classroom. Details appear here regarding the nature of the activity in the communities and ways to join them.
The road to 5 units passes through steps. The program offers complex tasks at the 5-unit level accompanied by gradual mediation, which allows students to solve matriculation problems with confidence. It is explained here how the method helps students approach exam challenges in a prepared and grounded way based on a sense of self-efficacy.
Math-Key open tasks allow every student in the classroom to find their own way to a solution. The program is designed for heterogeneous classrooms in middle and high schools and offers an approach that encourages flexible thinking and in-depth classroom discussion instead of a single solution. On the page, you will find an explanation of the program's principles and pedagogical approach.
Mathematical Maof (Fly with Math) program focuses on developing mathematical literacy and higher-order thinking in students with potential for excellence. The tasks require mathematical research and prepare students to deal with complex and challenging questions, including those appearing in international tests. This page details the program's research background and structure.
Maor (Light-Math) program connects the world of mathematics to everyday reality in middle school. Through multi-stage literacy tasks in the fields of science, society, and economics, students develop critical thinking and understand the relevance of the subject to their lives. Join us and give your students the tools for success in the 21st century.
A cognitive game that encourages switching between different sorting criteria. Children are asked to identify a different item within a group, and then to challenge their thinking and find why a different item is the odd one out, while shifting perspectives.
