In this fast-paced, engaging new title in the UDL Now! series, Katie Novak and Ashley Marlow apply their expertise in Universal Design for Learning (UDL) and equitable, inclusive instruction to the elementary math curriculum, answering questions from educators such as:
- What can I do to improve the math learning experience for my students and for myself?
- How do I create a math learning environment that sends the message that we are all capable mathematicians?
- What support and additional professional learning would I benefit from to make this happen?
The authors build on the critical work of the Algebra Project and the research-based principles of UDL to show that we can-and must-offer rigorous mathematics learning to all K-5 learners. They deserve no less, and with creative, universally designed instruction, we can deliver on that fundamental civil right.
Topics include:
- Cultivating early numeracy skills
- Growing positive mathematical mindsets
- Unlocking access to additive reasoning
- Deepening multiplication and division understanding
- Inviting learners into the world of fractions

Praise for Universal Design for Learning in Mathematics, K-5
It is past time we face the fact that too many of our students miss out on the joy and satisfaction of learning authentic mathematics. In Universal Design for Learning Mathematics Instruction, K-5, Novak and Marlow describe mathematics instruction, teacher and student mindsets, and classroom culture that can foster success for all students. I believe the strength of this work are the clear and practical examples of UDL based instructional practices in the context of important grade level mathematical topics such as early numeracy, additive and multiplicative reasoning, and fractions. Universal Design for Learning Mathematics Instruction, K-5 should be required reading for all K-5 math teachers and instructional leaders.”
This book is an essential guide for educators committed to making math accessible to all students. Novak and Marlow expertly blend UDL principles with math teaching strategies to create inclusive, engaging environments that support diverse learners. This book empowers teachers to build confident, capable mathematicians and ensure every student feels valued and included in their math journey.”
If you are new to teaching mathematics or have been teaching for 40 years, you will love this book as every page gives you a perspective of how to create thinkers, not mimickers, of mathematics.”
Novak and Marlow have just delivered a game-changing resource for math teachers who are committed to helping ALL students build a better relationship with math. This is more than just a guide; it's a call to action for transforming the way we teach and empower the next generation of learners.”
