Math and More programs recognize that children come to school with a great deal of knowledge about the world around them and significant experience in recognizing shapes, patterns and movement, gathering and comparing information, and following directions.

The Math and More mathematics curriculum builds upon this knowledge with learning activities that connect mathematical ideas to students own interests, neighborhoods, family and cultural backgrounds. The curriculum also builds upon leading-edge research, supporting the content areas identified by the National Council of Teachers of Mathematics (NCTM) as needing increased attention in primary grades:

Patterns and relationships

Geometry

Probability and statistics

Features and Benefits

Concepts, processes, problem solving, and higher order thinking skills

Combines need for physical manipulatives with computer-based environments

On-line and off-line teacher materials and lesson plans

On-line and off-line student materials and activities

Video component

Speech support in Math and More for Grades 1 & 2

12 - 18 weeks of math curriculum

Supports Teaching and Learning with Computers (TLC)

Constructivist learning environment

Exploration, discovery, and cross-curricular integration

Developmentally appropriate real world mathematical connections

Educational Goals

Students learn to value mathematics.

Students learn to communicate mathematically.

Students learn to reason mathematically.

Students become confident in their ability to do mathematics.

Problem solving used as a primary means of learning mathematics.

Standards

School completion

Student academic achievement

Leadership in math and science

Parental participation

National Council of Teachers of Mathematics

Covers the major content areas identified as needing increased attention in the primary grades: geometry, patterns and relationships, and probability, statistics, and data collection.

Meets the standard on communication, as students regularly relate everyday language to mathematical language in whole-class discussions and small groups.

The themes and activities chosen for the units meet the standard on mathematical connections by providing connections to students' prior interests, their neighborhoods, and their family and cultural backgrounds.

Developer's Corner

Math and More was developed by IBM Canada and Education Development Center (EDC) in response to the recommendations of the National Council of Teachers of Mathematics Standards. EDC is a publicly supported nonprofit organization dedicated to promoting human development through education.

Classroom Environment

Math and More is based on the vision of children as active learners, working on meaningful problems, collaborating with others, reflecting on their own progress, and using a variety of resources, including computer-based tools and video. Math and More in a Teaching and Learning with Computers (TLC) classroom environment provides for whole group and small group activities.

Math and More 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.

Professional Development

Math and More is an integrated primary math curriculum and embodies the vision articulated by the National Council of Teachers of Mathematics. This training is typically a two day training for each Math and More product. Participants will be able to:

Understand the computer activities and the written components of Math and More and how they work together.

Use the Math and More electronic file system.

Describe how Math and More supports the NCTM standards relating to children as active learners, using activities that stress problem solving and problem posing, collaboration and communication, reasoning and explaining and mathematical connections.
