YOU CAN REACH YOUR MATH STUDENTS
WITHOUT THE "I STILL HAVE TO PREP FOR TOMORROW" STRESS, THE CONSTANT OVERWHELM OF TEACHING MULTIPLE PREPS, AND THE HAMSTER WHEEL DEMANDS OF CREATING YOUR OWN TEACHING MATERIALS
* SHORT * PURPOSEFUL * DONE-FOR-YOU * MATH VIDEOS
I now use the videos for students to complete the handouts and practice while I can meet with small groups to supplement with skill building related to the handouts. Accountability has been shifted to students to use the videos for instruction and to take responsibility for their own learning. I am more of a facilitator, helping them “get it”.
MICHELLE, 8th grade math teacher
It has saved me so much time with planning and I can spend more time at home with my family. I teach 6th through 8th and algebra 1 so it normally takes a long time to plan. Everything is cohesive and helps transition from year to year. The videos are also wonderful. I use them in one of my classes as a flipped classroom. I also use the videos for when students are absent and it helps them to not get behind. I am so grateful that I am able to use this curriculum.
SARA, MIDDLE SCHOOL math teacher

SOUND FAMILIAR?
- “There are so few math resources out there that truly align to the standards."
- “I wish I had materials that work well together. I find myself spending too much of my valuable planning time digging through different resources.”
- “My students are struggling with the concepts because the resources available aren’t engaging.”
- “I’m new to teaching and overwhelmed with all there is to plan, much less my other responsibilities.”

TEACHING MATH DOESN'T HAVE TO BE THAT DIFFICULT
As former classroom teachers, we understand how teaching is a giant juggling act! You are doing your best to keep from dropping the ball and we want to help lighten your load.
When you entered the teaching profession, it was to make an impact on your students...not to constantly spin your wheels on what to teach and how to prep for it
HOW IS THE CURRICULUM DESIGNED?
MATH STANDARDS BROKEN DOWN BY CONCEPT AND ORGANIZED INTO UNITS
PLANNING SUPPORT
To ensure vertical alignment and create a cohesive content base, unit overviews provide you with a foundational understanding of where students are and where they need to go.
Each topic offers teacher tips that address engagement ideas or student struggles to streamline your planning. Pacing guides give you a reference of how to implement the various resources.
HIGH-INTEREST CLASSROOM RESOURCES
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.
Summer 2020 update: All guided notes are now available as Google Slides™.
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.
EDITABLE ASSESSMENT RESOURCES
Each unit includes at least one quiz and an editable unit test. This allows you to customize the unit test 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 unit test provides you the opportunity to make these customizations.
All quizzes and unit tests are also available in Google Forms™ to ease the grading burden.
I just want to say THANK YOU! You have a truly made a difference in not only my teaching but many others on my campus as well!!”

It is such a time saver. I like how organized it is. You pretty much can just give it to a teacher and they have everything. I love it. I love the activities being converted digitally. How did I survive without the entire curriculum before??

It is so simple to use and very printer friendly. My kids’ words every day are, “THIS IS SO EASY.” I am a first year teacher and this is the best purchase I have made my whole life. I seriously would have spent 1,000 dollars on this. It is that valuable to me. Thank you for creating this and also a big thank you to the MTM team!
ESMERELDA S.
I teach a self-contained combo and time is precious. The new videos allow me to have one group start their lesson while I am teaching the other grade level. When I am done, I just do a mini-lesson with the group who started with the videos. The extra 15 minutes is priceless!

ABOUT MANEUVERING THE MIDDLE®
Hi, I'm Noelle!
It was inevitable that Noelle would become a teacher one day as she spent many summers helping her grandmother decorate her elementary classroom, and later played “school” by teaching her younger siblings how to add and subtract.
After five years of teaching math to 6th-9th grade students, she transitioned into an instructional coaching role. It was then that she found her true joy of supporting educators!
Noelle founded Maneuvering the Middle® in 2013 to equip middle school math teachers to reach their students and make math engaging and attainable for kids. Noelle considers it a great privilege to lead the MTM team and support educators across the country. You may have seen her presenting at the Conference for the Advancement of Mathematics Teaching or seen her article in Forbes.
Our Maneuvering the Middle® team is focused on creating standards-based resources that teachers can trust for their classroom. Thousands of teachers across the country use our resources and we are constantly working to improve them for you and your students!
