Help your students catch up and keep up.

Description:

Created by Marilyn Burns, along with a team of Math Solutions master classroom teachers, Do The Math gives students who have fallen behind the chance to catch up and keep up. Focusing on basic arithmetic—computation, number sense, and problem solving— Do The Math is structured around scaffolded and paced lessons that are based on a careful and thorough analysis of students' misconceptions and typical errors. This program provides all of the materials needed for teaching below level students, and organizes them into clear, accessible, doable lessons that equip teachers with what they need to serve students who have not been able to keep up.

Benefits / Selling Points:

● Targeted lessons for students struggling with the basics of math: Unlike most textbooks, which cover a broad range of topics and treat all equally, Do The Math focuses on the concepts and skills that are essential to long-term student success. Students spend more time on each of these concepts over the course of multiple lessons.

● Organized into 12 modules, each including a series of thirty 30-minute step-by-step lessons or bite-sized learning experiences that are manageable for each student.

● Designed around the best instructional practices for struggling students: Explicit, step-by-step instruction anticipates common confusions and is built on a carefully sequenced gradual release model. The math content is scaffolded and the instructional choices provide teachers clear direction for introducing new concepts and skills.

● Differentiated instruction provided through careful assessment every fifth lesson.

● Works for teachers: It embeds professional development and point-of-use support into every lesson with clear steps for effective and easily managed teaching. Do The Math includes everything teachers need, carefully organized, so teachers can focus on teaching. Extra support throughout ensures that teachers—even inexperienced teachers—will feel comfortable and confident with the content in Do The Math.

Questions to Help “Find the Gap”:

● Do you have students who struggle with math?

● What type of instruction do you have to offer your struggling math students beyond what is provided within the context of the regular math classroom? Do you need more curriculum support for this particular student population?

● What instructional strategies are you currently using to give struggling students’ explicit, step-by-step instruction to reinforce basic math skills?

● As an educator, do you have enough resources and support to feel comfortable and confident reinforcing basic math skills for below level students?

● How do you assess and differentiate instruction for students struggling with comprehension of basic math concepts and skills?

● Would you like to build struggling students’ essential math skills through a program that teaches computation, number sense and problem solving?
