How DO we learn math?

Top researchers in brain plasticity and growth mindset are working hard to get the word out to educators: anyone can learn math to a high level.

Some factors in facilitating expansive learning are:

• Ask Questions..."why does this make sense?"
• Math is about connections and creativity
• Depth is more important than speed
• Mistakes are Valuable

Using visual models, students have pictorial representations with which to anchor learning. Students move through the Symphony Math curriculum, bridging models to numbers. As a result, students deepen and expand their mathematical knowledge and confidence.

Symphony Math is a blended learning program that helps students connect the Big Ideas in mathematics. Symphony Math includes the necessary tools for success in your classroom, school, and district:

• An independent, fully integrated K-8 Screener/Benchmarker to identify At-Risk students and track growth throughout the school year

• A complete K-4* curriculum for foundational number sense that follows most curriculum and state standards
  (*5th grade will be added in June!)

• Conceptual development AND fact fluency in one program

• IES had many recommendations for RTI.  Symphony Math meets ALL of them

• Instant access to a full reporting and management system

• Offline practice materials for EVERY skill covered in the Symphony Math online program
