A SKILL-BASED MATH INTERVENTION PROGRAM FOR 6th, 7th and 8th grade
- Small group intervention designed for Tier 2 and Tier 3 support
- Daily number sense routine to support numerical fluency
- Leveled question sets for small group instruction
“I now use the videos for students to complete the handouts and practice while I 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’.”

“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 me 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.”

BASED ON THE RESEARCH FROM NCTM
In 2014, the National Council of Teachers of Mathematics published a book, Principles to Actions: Ensuring Mathematical Success for All. In Principles to Actions, NCTM sets forth a set of “strongly recommended, research-informed actions for all teachers, coaches, and specialists in mathematics; all school and district administrators; and all educational leaders and policymakers.”
Though Maneuvering the Middle has not conducted a formal study, we design our materials to support the NCTM Principles to Actions.
Please review the NCTM Principles to Actions and feel free to reach out to our team for additional information.

VALUES IN MTM RESOURCES
ATTAINABLE FOR STUDENTS
Maneuvering the Middle resources are designed with students in mind. The scaffolding supports both the concrete, representational, abstract sequence for learning mathematics, as well as a progression from basic to complex. This gives students confidence in their mathematical abilities and allows them to logically organize their learning. In addition, problem types, activity formats, and visual design all encourage students to engage with math and collaborate with their peers.
STANDARDS-BASED
Maneuvering the Middle currently offers alignment for both TEKS and CCSS.
Maneuvering the Middle resources are designed around the standards with thoughtful attention given to the specific verbiage, terms, and examples included throughout. Curricula is developed in a cohesive and comprehensive process to support students’ mastery of all grade-level standards.
In September 2023, All Access by Maneuvering the Middle was reviewed for alignment to the Texas Essential Knowledge and Skills by an independent curriculum review service, Learning List.

RICH IN REAL-WORLD APPLICATION
Maneuvering the Middle resources include abundant connections to real-life situations and skills, allowing a more meaningful and lasting learning experience for students. As math skills are applied, students grow in their ability to problem solve and emerge as stronger critical thinkers. Application problems are rich in context, relevant to 21st century learners, and are integrated throughout the entire curricula.
FLEXIBLE IN IMPLEMENTATION
Maneuvering the Middle resources are organized and sequenced to allow for easy integration into a variety of teaching models, classroom timeframes, and campus bell schedules. Materials are presented in a way that is easy to understand, implement and allows educators to find what they need to best support their students’ success.
“I just wanted to email you and thank you and your team for all you do! This year my 8th grade math team and I used your entire curriculum and we saw scores that we have never seen before (93% passing)! I work at a low income Title 1 school where majority of my kids came to me hating math and over half did not pass the STAAR test the year before. I seriously believe that because of your materials my students started to actually enjoy math. I personally used almost everything in the curriculum and my students grew this year more than I could have imagined! Every student but 1 passed the STAAR test this year and this is coming from the same group of students who came to me with less than half passing during 7th grade!
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!!”
HAYLEY, 8th grade math teacher

“We are able to close gaps, provide re-teach opportunities and accelerate with the program. We have shown great success for all students. We are also able to reach students who are absent or in alternate placements so they do not get behind when they are not in our classroom. The digital components for videos, lessons, and activities are amazing in this ever changing world of technology. MTM helps us answer the four PLC questions every time we plan. We are MTM’s biggest cheerleaders on our campus. I would share our success stories with anyone.”

Frequently Asked Questions
Our school licensing is calculated per teacher per content area. It is based on the number of teachers utilizing the resources, not the number of students in each section.
Example:
If a campus has two math teachers:
- One teacher is assigned to 6th grade and 7th grade
- One teacher is assigned to 7th grade and 8th grade
Then the campus needs 4 licenses:
- 1x 6th grade All Access
- 2x 7th grade All Access
- 1x 8th grade All Access

“My biggest win was the ability for my students to work on skills through the intervention program and be able to perform well on the same concepts in their general education mathematics classes. I have many different types of problems to allow students to practice their fluency and ground their understanding.”

“Students who struggle need consistency. The activities are the same but the content changes. Having the same format makes it easier to let students work independently while I work with a smaller group.”

“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 and 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.”

“I transitioned from high school to middle school last year, and your 7th and 6th grade resources quite literally saved my life. I could not have done last year or this virtual year without your incredible resources.
You definitely have a little cult of followers in our district. You were recommended to me by a coworker who uses your 8th grade and Algebra resources. We also recently had to pick out new textbooks as a district, and a group of us had a moment where we agreed, “These resources are cool, but I still haven’t seen anything that would make me quit using MTM.”
