Ready Classroom Mathematics Uses Discourse to Develop Mathematical Thinking
Curriculum Associates has released Ready Classroom Mathematics, a new
hybrid print/digital curriculum for K–5 mathematics.
According to Curriculum Associates, the new standards-aligned
curriculum offers recourses that work together to “support the
teaching and learning process. The program uses multi-day lessons and
instructional routines to help students understand important
mathematical concepts, make connections between multiple mathematical
strategies and deepen their conceptual understanding by leading the
majority of the classroom discussion. There are also frequent
opportunities for practice and assessment to ensure that students
understand concepts and to help teachers make instructional
decisions.”
“Having meaningful conversations about math concepts helps students
better understand what they are learning and apply it to everyday
problems,” said Rob Waldron, CEO of Curriculum Associates. “Ready
Classroom Mathematics provides teachers with the tools to facilitate
these important conversations, drive instruction, and engage all
students in the learning process.”
Ready Classroom Mathematics includes:
-
Embedded professional learning resources, including professional
learning support for ELL instruction;
-
Language differentiation strategies and ideas for “cultural
responsiveness”;
-
Student Workbooks;
-
Teacher guides;
-
Discourse cards; and
-
Practice tests.
