At Carnegie Learning we believe all students are capable learners, and we understand that students enter class with varying degrees of experience and mathematical success. In order for students to be both challenged and successful, every day teachers use evidence of student readiness. Teachers recognize students’ strengths while ensuring that everyone has access to mathematical learning opportunities through a variety of access points. Below you will find ways your Carnegie Learning textbook and MATHia software support individual student needs.
In the Front Matter of your textbook you will find pages titled “Supporting for All Students.” Within these pages, you will find how your textbook provides:
Strategies to support language development
Strategies to specifically teach academic language and to use cuing
Strategies to support productive skills
Opportunities to synthesize and display information and relationships
Strategies to support student interactions
Strategies for grouping students
Strategies to support social emotional learning
Strategies supporting
Self-awareness
Self-management
Social awareness
Relationship skills
Responsible decision-making
Throughout your Teacher’s Implementation Guide, strategies to support students at every level of learning are called out in the margin of every lesson and expanded upon in the Additional Facilitation notes that follow each lesson.
MATHia works alongside MATHbook to ensure students have time to develop the concepts and skills of the course. The work students do in MATHia continuously supports their work in MATHbook, even when their software pace is ahead of or behind the aligned lessons.
MATHia is self-paced and teachers can support student learning by:
Having students read the learning goals and connecting statement
Helping students establish a workspace completion goal within the unit
Encouraging self-motivation rather than compliance
Promoting student responsibility for self-monitoring their learning
Reminding students to assess their progress using the Progress Meter
Empowering students to use the self-help tools as needed to take ownership of their learning
Reminding students that mistakes are learning opportunities
Cultivating an environment where asking for help is a regular practice
Encouraging students to think about how each workspace connects to what they are learning in MATHbook
