Checking out Ready

Readers of my most recent blog post (linked here) announcing the recommendations of the WCSU math pilot team have expressed interest in getting a first glimpse of Ready Mathematics. Thankfully, our buddy Brad at Curriculum Associates has provided us with a code that we can use to access the Teacher Toolbox on a trial basis.

So in this blog post, I will show you how to access Ready Mathematics through the Teacher Toolbox. In the interest of providing options for learning, you may choose to watch this video:

Or  you may choose to click right here and read the instructions on a pamphlet provided by Curriculum Associates. 

Or maybe you want want to mix it up and do both because you're just crazy cool like that.

Whatever your mode of preference, enjoy and let me know if you have any questions or thoughts (edorsey@u32.org).

Ready for a Math Program in WCSU?

In case you haven't already heard, the Elementary Math Pilot Group has recommended Ready Mathematics as a common program that we will begin using to support math instruction in grades k-6 next school year (2019-2020). In this blog post (co-written by Anne and Ellen), we address these questions:

• What was the process we used to pilot and decide on a program for adoption in WCSU?
• What is Ready Mathematics and what did teachers like about it?
• What are next steps in the process?
