Math Labs are video-based critical thinking activities. Each Math lab is a short video segment that encourages students to use their critical thinking skills to deepen their understanding of key concepts.

Each Math Lab comes with an accompanying worksheet that can be used for data gathering and answering critical thinking questions.
