“I was introduced to your website by my instructor when I was pursuing an MA in Teaching degree. Your site saved my life as a new teacher who was assigned to teach at an underfunded Title 1 school just one week before school started.”
“Sometimes I feel like I’m searching all over the place for different resources, so I love that you have warm-ups and concepts all in one place.”
“Great stuff. This actually makes Standards Based Grading look doable.”
“Brilliant sequencing.”
“This curriculum is amazing, thank you!!! It saved me as a new teacher!!!”
“Just wanted to let you know I keep coming back to this each year…I first visited about 4-5 years ago. Great stuff!”
“Your course structure is well-organized and most importantly ENGAGING.”
“My kids have been greatly engaged and seem to be truly learning. I also applaud you for grading based on knowledge, not just test taking skills.”
“It’s one of the best things I’ve seen in Math Education.”
WHAT PEOPLE ARE SAYING
“I LOVE your stuff. What you do with your concepts and instructional strategies are fantastic. I love the pacing and the outline of all the activities that you do. Last year my Geometry PLC and I followed your timelines and addressed the same topics that you have listed. We pretty much followed it full-blown, with our twist on certain things of course, and I must say it was a fantastic year. The kids learned so much….on a conceptual level, and retained it! We want to do the same thing this coming school year with Algebra."
“It’s one of the best things I’ve seen in Math Education.”
“I’m a first year teacher and you have lit up my life with these problems. They are
everything I was looking for and aspiring to. I also love that I can teach them in my
own way.”
“My kids have been greatly engaged and seem to be truly learning. I also applaud you for grading based on knowledge, not just test taking skills.”
What People are Saying
01/07
Sparking Curiosity
We ignite student curiosity throughout our curriculum by incorporating dynamic elements like 3 Act Math lessons, daily estimation icebreakers, engaging unit introduction lessons, hook-setting lesson starters, and interactive practice routines.
02/07
Balance Between Inquiry and Explicit Instruction
We believe in nurturing student intuition and curiosity, often through problem-based learning when introducing or reinforcing new concepts. However, we maintain a balanced approach, offering plenty of opportunities for practice and more traditional instruction to ensure comprehensive understanding.
03/07
Highly Usable
Our lessons are designed with success in mind, not just for the "master" teacher. By moving away from rigid fidelity requirements, we create a flexible curriculum that is both customizable and adaptable. Teachers can easily tailor lessons to their unique style while still meeting key learning goals.
04/07
Customizable with Room for Teacher Creativity
We know no one wants a strict script. While we provide the framework, you bring the lesson to life! Most of our content is housed in Google Drive, allowing you to easily personalize the curriculum to fit your specific needs and showcase what makes you a unique educator.
05/07
Meaningful Practice
We believe practice is essential for success in math, which is why we strategically incorporate practice assignments, including spiraling activities, throughout the curriculum. To keep students engaged and motivated, we embed routines that make practice more meaningful and help maintain focus in the classroom.
06/07
Intermixing of Challenging Problems
Instead of following a predictable progression from easy to difficult, we mix in challenging problems throughout the curriculum. This ensures that challenging problems aren’t skipped due to time constraints and helps students stay engaged without feeling overwhelmed by the difficulty at the end.
07/07
Standards-Based Grading
Content is crucial, but so is an assessment system that aligns with our core values—focusing on student thinking, fostering engagement, and minimizing the emphasis on point-grabbing. Our Standards-Based Grading system does just that. Learn more by joining our free online workshop.
