I've been using this program I call M.A.T.H. for about a year now
and would like to let you know all about it just in case you're interested in
using any of the aspects in your own classroom!
I am a big
"Google-er" and spent much of my time searching for other math
programs out there already in place and tested by the experts. I took the pieces of
each program that I really found beneficial for my students and intertwined
them to become this one hunky program in my own room. It has worked
wonders for my kids. They are now devoted deep thinkers, persevering problem
solvers, kind and considerate collaborators, and best of
all--mathematicians!
This program is a little bit of Guided Math, The Daily 3,
and Pinterest/Blog ideas all poured into one.
I am not selling anything for this program because most of it is already
made for us! I did all of the searching and
trial and error on my own students. This
way, you just get the good stuff and are able to get started right away with the
resources I’ve found or created along the way….Lucky you!
So to best explain it all, I have two resources. One is a Symbaloo Webmix with all of the resources and links and the other is a video PowerPoint presentation my school's STAT Teacher and I gave to Baltimore County during the
STAT Institute last summer.
I have provided our Symbaloo with all of the resources in one
place. I provided access to all of my 4th
grade math files, websites I love to use, the presentations, and a way for you to introduce it to your school at a Professional Development session (thank you
to my school’s fabulous STAT Teacher—Megan H.).
That section focuses in on the Learner Centered Environment and how this
program really embraces that teaching and learning style.
Our presentation resources are located on the left and the center of the Symbaloo page. The right side contains resources from another BCPS Teacher who presented on the West Side during the same conference.

Feel free to ask any questions or leave any concerns you have so I can help you get started with this amazing program right away! If you have any additional resources you would like to share, please add them in the comment section.
Here is the OfficeMix video I created today using the PowerPoint presentation on just the M.A.T.H. Program and rotations with small group. Please contact Megan or myself if you would like more information on the Learner Centered Environment section of the presentation!
