Discover a Better Way to Play

New to EMC² Learning? Welcome! Want to know the real difference between EMC² Learning and Teachers Pay Teachers? It’s not clipart, pricing, or popularity. It’s quality control, pedagogy-first design, versatility, and values. In this post, we unpack why EMC² Learning was built differently: from UDL-friendly resources and reusable instructional moves to independent, educator-led craftsmanship that goes far beyond a marketplace. If you’re tired of rolling the dice on downloads and ready to become a better designer of learning, this one’s for you.

Looking to Start Playing with Purpose?!??

What if a full-blown playbook for improving our classroom instruction didn’t come from sitting through a full day PD training, but from a small act of play? To celebrate the release of Playing with Purpose, we’re giving away a companion Power Packed Playbook digital download that’s filled with two dozen classroom-ready resources. No sit-and-get PD. No proof-of-purchase gymnastics. Just a tiny challenge inspired by the book itself—one that rewards curiosity, honors accessibility, and models the power of Desired Difficulty. Are you ready to crack the code?

If you’re looking for word problems, we’ve got news for you, son: we’ve got 99 (Word) Problems, and every one is fun! Ninety Nine (Word) Problems challenges your students to channel their inner emcee as they remix higher order mathematical thinking into ANY content area.
