If you're a teacher, math coach, PTA member or anyone who's taking on this project, I hope this helps!
Includes free downloads of my favorite math night activities 😀

- I'm looking over mathematical openers in preparation for a talk, and WOW - if you don't use these, you're missing out. Here are my 3 favorite websites for (free!) resources: 1) mathforlove.com/lessons/openers Lots of images for my favorite talks, chats. Plus opening games and more
