Implementation Models

So, you have taught your grade level standards and are ready to spiral review those major skills. Now let’s utilize NextGenMath.com to create a structured approach for including standards from the most critical areas of instruction and required fluencies. Utilizing every instructional minute wisely by focusing on the major standards to help students meet and exceed the standards is the name of the game. Work smarter, not harder as you prepare your students to achieve at a high level in Math.

Daily Micro Formative Instruction

Good first instruction blends technology with purposeful, well-designed teaching practices to engage students and provide teachers with fresh new ways to utilize the resources within NextGenMath.com. Learn the I Do, We Do, You Do, Re-Do instructional approach that starts with direct instruction using a Problem of the Day (POD) then moves to collaborative student interaction in tier 1 and tier 2 intervention groups and culminates with a checking for understanding to determine student understanding. Add in weekly spiral reviews for ongoing progress monitoring. Imagine how prepared your students will be to demonstrate their understanding of rigorous Common Core problems by learning a stem a day leading up to state assessments.

Data Protocol for Real Time PLC

Educators are frequently data rich and resource poor. In other words, we have the data that tells us which students need support with given standards and question stems, but we don’t have access to additional resources to assist in multiple exposures to work toward mastery. While data is important, what we do with the data is what truly impacts our students. NextGenMath.com allows users to analyze data, reflect on the data, and use the Tier 1 and Tier 2 Intervention and Individualized Learning buttons to take immediate action to support small groups as well as individual student needs. Join this session to learn what to do after you get your assignment results.

K-2, Just for You!

Utilize NextGenMath.com to teach a standard beginning with a conceptual model that flows into procedural concepts. From there students apply their conceptual and procedural knowledge of a standard to solve the various types of word problems including start, change and result unknown.

Middle School Madness

This session is specifically designed for our middle school teachers.

Pressed for time? Let NextGenMath.com show you how easy it is to assign required fluencies to each of your math sections through the ability to identify critical areas of instruction, while making sure to differentiate and meet each student’s needs within your math period.

Establishing a Principal’s Challenge is a great motivational strategy that could be implemented schoolwide or by grade level. The school administrator leads the way by incentivizing platform usage for students and teachers.

Here is an example demonstrating what you might plan for each month of the school year to prepare your students for a schoolwide challenge! Below, you can download a plan with monthly tasks, as well as a bracket-style template.

Filling in learning gaps

Curriculum has gaps. Textbooks have gaps. Student learning has gaps. Student learning gaps can be across the grade level standards or from previous grade level standards. Educators are tasked with bridging those learning gaps so that students achieve at high levels. NextGenMath provides tools to not only quickly identify the learning gaps through assessment and analytics but also provides the resources required to “fill the gaps.” Each user—regardless of the grade level they teach—has access to all of the K-12th grade level content allowing for quick remediation of standards in previous grade levels as well as opportunities to accelerate learning.

NextGenMath.com resources are organized by standards making it easy to locate and utilize lessons needed to fill any gaps that exist in a given curriculum. Standards are organized by major and support providing a useful tool to calibrate and pace curriculum in a way that maximizes instructional minutes. The way in which the resources are organized makes it easy for teachers to identify focus standards that may be missing from core curriculum.

NextGenMath.com supplements core curriculum by providing various questions types for each standard in an effort to prepare students for the variety of ways that any given standard might be assessed. In summary, if your students have learning gaps and students are not learning the standards from the core curriculum alone, NextGenMath.com is your solution.

Spiral review or pre-teach through Problem of the Day, Exit Tickets, and Check for Understanding

Being able to spiral back to standards already taught is a great way to keep students engaged and allows them to keep practicing skills.

Teachers may select from two options. Choose any grade level preset fluency skill or customize your own procedural fluency assignments through powerful tools in the advance drawer.

Each grade level has a menu of preset skills based on grade level procedural fluency expectancies that the teacher can easily assign within seconds. Since the teacher has access to all grade levels of procedural fluency, the presets may easily be assigned based on the students’ needs for individual, small group or whole class assignments. Procedurally fluency is efficient, focused and straightforward.

For those that wish to customize procedural fluency beyond the presets, teachers may select the “advanced” button. In the advanced drawer, a power authoring tool is available for teachers to create assignments such as double digit addition, start unknown, no regrouping, sums to 59. If this type of customization excites you, then you will want to check out the advanced drawer with fractions!
