Description

A skill-based math intervention program for grades 6-8

Maneuvering Math™ is designed to target struggling math students through Tier 2 and Tier 3 interventions that are small-group focused. Our framework provides a leveled structure so you can fill in gaps of foundational math concepts, build your student’s self-confidence, and get hours back in your day.

Here’s how Maneuvering Math works:

– DAILY NUMBER SENSE ROUTINE

A number sense notebook with out-of-the-box questions that build numerical fluency, provide for mathematical conversations, have an entry point for all students, and can be used to discuss strategies and thinking. Many of the questions lend themselves to a number talk, too.

– SMALL GROUP INSTRUCTION

Leveled sets of questions and interactive thinking mats for over 60 topics to facilitate small groups. The question cards and mats will allow students a hands-on opportunity to build confidence and master skills while giving you the materials to facilitate learning, correct misconceptions, and meet students exactly where they are

– DIGITAL ACTIVITIES

Google Slides activities to help your students improve their skills in an engaging format. The digital activities are aligned with the small group topics, so that after your students leave the small group they can practice the same skills in an individual or partner setting.

– ALSO INCLUDED

  • Diagnostic Assessments
  • Teacher Training & Implementation
  • Organizational Components & Ideas
  • Everything You Need To Get Started

Maneuvering Math™ is for math intervention teachers. When we designed the program, we had in mind a teacher who has at least a 40 minute class period devoted to students who are struggling with math content. You might be the second math class that students attend each day. You may be a resource math teacher. Ideally, you have a minimum of 40 minutes a day and are tasked with the challenge of filling gaps and bringing your students up to speed.

FAQ

DOES THIS ALIGN WITH THE TEKS OR CCSS?

Maneuvering Math™ is comprehensive, so skills from 6th-8th grade (even some 5th grade review) will all be included.

When we organized the content and determined the concepts to include we referenced both the TEKS and CCSS, while focusing on the essential math concepts. Unlike our curriculum which is standards-based, Maneuvering Math™ is skill-based. These key skills will support a student’s ability so they can be successful with the standards.

HOW IS THIS DIFFERENT FROM MANEUVERING THE MIDDLE® CURRICULUM?

Maneuvering the Middle® math curriculum is standards-based and available by grade level for both the CCSS and TEKS. Those materials speak to the depth and complexity of the standards and include everything you need for all grade level standards.

Maneuvering Math™ is a skill-based intervention program for grades 6-8. This is not a curriculum and will not cover each and every standard for 6th -8th grade. It does include key skills and topics (see above) to support Tier 2 and Tier 3 intervention. It is small group based and materials are leveled so that students can be working on the same skill, but at different levels.

We know the standards are critical, so we have included a standards-alignment chart for you to reference.

WHAT TRAINING IS INCLUDED?

We have included a “Start Here” portion of the membership, to fully support your implementation of Maneuvering Math™. This training includes an organization of materials and how to get set up, a daily number sense routine teacher guide, and a getting started with small groups guide.

WHAT NEW RESOURCES WILL BE INCLUDED?

As a member of Maneuvering Math™ you will receive access to current content and new resources. We fully believe in the ability to access everything that your students might need, so all materials are available for you as long as you maintain your membership.

On the first of every month, you will receive an email with notifications of the new monthly content, as well as what you can anticipate for the following month. The monthly content includes one video training as well as student resources that you can put to use in your classroom.

WHAT GRADE-LEVELS IS THIS FOR?

We designed this program to include skills from 6th-8th grade (even some 5th as it pertains to number sense and numerical operations). Our best suggestion is to view the topics and skills above to fully see what is covered and ensure that it is a good fit for you and your students.

IS THIS LOW PREP?

No, it does require preparation to ensure that you have the materials organized and ready to go. This is not a worksheet driven program, but a center-based program in which materials will need to be prepared. We want to be upfront about this.

Within the Maneuvering Math™ membership we have provided step-by-step videos and many different examples of how to prepare and organize the content. We will walk you through the process.

WHAT IS MY MEMBERSHIP COMMITMENT?

Maneuvering Math™ is a subscription-based membership program with the option of a monthly or annual renewal. Once you join, your price will not change for the life of your membership. If however, you choose to cancel your membership and then desire to start again, you will not be able to rejoin at your original price. An active member is someone who is up to date on all payments.
