Moving with Math Ensures Success Has No Language Barrier
Educators recognize the need for specialized support to address the unique needs of students with limited English proficiency. To succeed, teachers need a proven program to assess student knowledge and provide differentiated instruction that incorporates explicit support in both mathematical concepts and language.
The Moving with Math® Learning System was developed over 40 years ago to meet the exact needs of these students using the research-based Concrete-Representational-Abstract (CRA) instruction model.
Organized Learning System Empowers Teachers
The Moving with Math® Learning System to provide teachers with an organized and systematic process to raise achievement for all students. It is easy to use and streamlines classroom management, integrating standards-aligned assessments to direct data-driven, differentiated instruction, giving teachers more time to focus on the engaging CRA lessons proven to improve student understanding and academic performance.
Objective-Based Assessments Matched to Standards
The programs integrate objective based assessments with lesson plans that are designed with hands-on manipulative activities and targeted vocabulary instruction. Teacher Manuals and lesson plans include research-based teaching practices and strategies that cater to their diverse backgrounds and language proficiency levels.
Manipulatives are the Universal Language of Math
Research-Based Hands-On Instruction
At the heart of all Moving with Math programs are engaging lessons that use the research-based CRA instructional model. Lessons are carefully scaffolded to blend explicit instruction with inquiry-based strategies. Students of all learning styles and languages develop conceptual understanding and experience success as they use manipulatives to explore, discover and communicate mathematical patterns.
Improve Engagement and Confidence
CRA instruction uses manipulatives “The Universal Language” to help students with limited language skills grasp math concepts through visual and tactile learning. Lessons build conceptual understanding, allowing students to progress from concrete experiences to representational practice and then abstract thinking and understanding.
Vocabulary Support is Crucial for Success
In addition to building deep conceptual understanding, manipulative activities develop vocabulary, build language skills and provide problem solving opportunities. Carefully structured lessons integrate word walls and sentence frames to introduce new vocabulary alongside math concepts, helping students develop language proficiency as they learn.
Comprehensive Lesson Plans Set Teachers and Students up for Success
Detailed lesson plan structure and evidence-based strategies support teachers in leading explicit CRA instruction for multilingual students. Four-step lesson plans reduce prep time, help teachers facilitate engaging hands-on activities, differentiate instruction, monitor progress, and set students up for success.
Lessons give teachers a multitude of follow-up activities and enrichment opportunities using children’s stories to connect math to the real world. Games give students fun ways to deepen their understanding. Family Math Connections available in English and Spanish to engage students’ families in support of their math learning.
With over 40 years of research-backed success, Moving with Math remains the trusted choice for educators committed to closing the achievement gap for ELs.
