TLC Mathematics is a spiral math curriculum based upon NCTM standards.
It was developed by John Schiener in IBM development labs.
TLC Mathematics is a series of three instructional software products that let teachers and students
discover mathematical concepts together. Each product contains a collection of software activities and
curriculum materials created for the respective grade levels. The software activities for
TLC Mathematics were drawn from Exploring Measurement, Time and Money, Exploring Mathematics with
Manipulatives, Exploring Math Concepts and SchoolVista Mathematics.
TLC Mathematics has a management component that allows a teacher to assign a
single lesson, a variety of lessons or the whole program to their class.
 | Addresses math education in grades K - 6 |
| Integrates technology into the ongoing teaching and learning activities of the classroom |
| Encourages collaborative learning and communication |
| Emphasizes cross-curricular links |
| Focuses on concepts, process, problem-solving and higher order thinking skills |
| Involves the teacher and allows flexibility for teaching styles |
| Provides schools with the choice of using the products as complementary to existing curriculum
or as a
core curricular product |
Standards
SchoolVista Mathematics addresses the following mathematics curriculum standards for grades 1 -
6 as identified by the National Council of Teachers of Mathematics (NCTM) Curriculum and Evaluation Standards
for School Mathematics document:
| Mathematics as problem solving |
| Mathematics as communication |
| Mathematics as reasoning |
| Mathematical connections |
| Estimation |
| Number sense and numeration |
| Concepts of whole number operations |
| Whole number computation |
| Geometry and spatial sense |
| Measurement |
| Statistics and probability |
| Fractions and decimals |
| Patterns and relationships |
John Schiener led the development of the TLC Mathematics series and Math and More
series. View his Developers
Comments in Acrobat Format about Math and More for Grades 5 and 6.
TLC Mathematics was designed to be used in a Teaching and Learning with Computers environment
where the on-line software activities and off-line learning center activities complement one another and
reinforce the concepts being taught. The software is supported by their
respective Teacher Guides.
The Teacher’s Guides
provide support through lesson plans as well as reproducible
masters. The Teacher’s Guide also includes integration ideas to
integrate mathematics across the curriculum as well as ideas for classroom
management, assessment, and home/school connections.
TLC Math combines the mathematical content from
Measurement, Time and Money, Exploring Math Concepts and Exploring Math with
Manipulatives and organizes them into mathematical strands. Upon
completion of the TLC Math training, participants
will be able to:
| Understand the concepts and practices of the
TLC Math software and how the curriculum strands are organized |
| Understand the teacher and student steps
necessary to begin using the software |
| Understand the layout of the Teacher's Guide
and the materials provided for integration |
| Understand how the TLC Concept supports the
software and activities provided in the Teacher's Guide |
The TLC Math
training is typically a one to two day training for each grade TLC Math
product.
Every teacher will require instruction in how to use these programs and how
to integrate it into their The TLC Mathematics training will support teachers in the use of the content and process skills called
for in the National Council for Teachers of Mathematics standards. This training will enable teachers to create
and use instructional plans for use as the basis for classroom instruction in core mathematical concepts.
* Audio required for Grades 1 and
2; use Headsets or Speakers.
* This product is compatible with Optional Management Systems
such as TLC SchoolConnect, Visual CASEL, Novell ZenWorks,
and Microsoft's Roaming Profiles.
