HOW IS THE CURRICULUM DESIGNED?
MATH STANDARDS BROKEN DOWN BY CONCEPT AND ORGANIZED INTO UNITS
The year-long planning guide provides an overview of the curricula units provided, including standards and a predicted number of days to assist in big picture scope and sequence details.
The unit planning guides provide support for allocating days for each lesson, as well as planning to include specific activities for supplemental practice.
Each resource is tagged with standards and each lesson has a student-friendly lesson objective.
The guided notes provide visuals and scaffold the concepts in such a way that students refer back to them — a teacher’s dream! Real-life application and problem solving strategies have been incorporated throughout the units to ensure that your students can apply the concepts.
Short instructional videos that are aligned to the student handouts allow for flexibility in classroom structure — use them for at home support and extra review, as support for when you are out, or in a blended learning environment.
Teaching slides are included to mirror the student handout materials, optimizing sizing and spacing so that teachers can project and annotate the content in their classroom.
Each unit includes at least six hands-on activities to support cooperative learning, higher-level thinking skills, and student practice in a fun way! Teachers have commented that they love hearing their students using academic language and justifying their reasoning.
Digital activities allow for interactive practice for use with Google Slides and PowerPoint. The corresponding exit tickets are a great way to formatively assess students.
Two meaningful projects per grade level are intended to deepen students’ knowledge while encouraging creativity and inquiry. These exploratory projects allow students to experience mathematical concepts in everyday life.
Each unit includes at least one editable quiz and an editable unit test. This allows you to customize the unit assessments to meet the needs of your students. Perhaps you would like to reduce the number of questions or answer choices for an IEP or 504 plan, or maybe you want to offer a pre-assessment prior to teaching the unit. The editable assessments provide you the opportunity to make these customizations.
These quizzes and unit tests are also available in Google Forms™ to ease the grading burden.
A test generator is included to create different versions of the unit tests at the same difficulty level. These tests can assist in academic honesty, retakes, or pre-assessments.

Marissa
“This was the best resource for a first year teacher. I found it super helpful, because I was worried of what or how to go about teaching math to my students. I know that I can ask my colleagues in my department to help but MTM was so helpful! I was able to understand how to teach my students to where they understand as well it helped me mentally to prepare what we are going over in the classroom. I feel the biggest win was definitely how open the material is and how easy it is to access the materials.”

ABOUT MANEUVERING THE MIDDLE®
Maneuvering the Middle began as a solution to a need. A need to have standards-aligned resources that empowered teachers and engaged students!
Other materials were lacking – not fully aligned to the standards, dry and repetitive, missing true scaffolding that students need.
Almost a decade later, Maneuvering the Middle strives to empower teachers through high-quality math resources, so that math is both engaging and attainable for kids.
Maneuvering the Middle resources are designed to be attainable for students, standards-based in design, rich in real-world application, and flexible in implementation. Thousands of teachers across the country use our resources and we are constantly working to improve them for you and your students!
