In this article, the authors share how a class of fifth-grade students from an urban elementary school channeled their creativity and critical thinking in an engaging STEAM investigation. Contributors to the iSTEM (Integrating Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics) department share ideas and activities that stimulate student interest in the integrated fields of science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) in K–grade 6 classrooms.

This problem scenario explores the analog clock, a rich source of tasks associated with angles and angle measures. The Cloud Clock problem is an opportunity for students to deepen their understanding of analog clocks, angles, and time and angle measurement. To access the full-size activity sheet, go to http://www.nctm.org/tcm, All Issues. Each month, this section of the Problem Solvers department showcases students' in-depth thinking and discusses the classroom results of using problems presented in previous issues of Teaching Children Mathematics.

Lyrics from the ever-so-popular 1980 song by Kool and the Gang seem to be a fitting way to kick off the twenty-fifth year of Teaching Children Mathematics (TCM). This milestone volume year will be one of joyous celebration as we commemorate the journal's numerous contributions to elementary school mathematics education during the past quarter of a century.

Math by the Month features collections of short activities focused on a monthly theme. These articles aim for an inquiry or problem-solving orientation that includes four activities each for grade bands K–2, 3–4, and 5–6. In this issue, students explore mathematical challenges within the context of the Greek gods. Activities are provided for elementary school children to support their exploration of mathematics in everyday situations.
