Math4ME is designed to implement evidence-based professional development which increases math proficiency and inclusionary practices for students with exceptionalities and improves instructional practices for educators of all students.
The Math4ME project is grounded in the National Council of Teachers of Mathematics (NCTM) Mathematics Teaching Practices. This project includes hands-on activities, resources, and interactive professional learning experiences which engage participants in deeper understanding of core mathematical concepts and strategies. Program content includes accessible and engaging math routines, diagnostic probes, assessment and formative feedback, all focusing on conceptual understanding, operations with whole numbers, connected representations, and problem-solving skills and processes.
“The Math4ME work has allowed me to view math in a whole new way. I find that I am less focused on a student’s ability to solve a problem correctly and more focused on understanding and exploring that student’s decision-making process in solving the problem. This allows students to understand and appreciate the work they do in class, as well as give them the real-world skills they will need in the future. It has also helped me to evolve as a teacher, to take a step back and ask myself what I want students to get out of a lesson. I would highly recommend the Math4ME program to all."
