Math Success for All

Welcome to Mathematics Success for All, our research overview that has informed the development of our new family of math resources for K–9 Mathematics: Pearson Mathology.

Created with a deep understanding of Math learning and the needs of teachers, Mathology is a comprehensive math program with real-world applications that helps educators plan lessons, and engage and teach students across all skill levels. Co-developed with Canadian teachers, Mathology offers a differentiated learning program rooted in classroom reality, as well as effective teacher support. Based on an easy-to-understand Math learning progression, it combines insights from teacher interviews, focus groups, and classroom observations, with the best of pedagogical approaches and the academic research presented in this report.

Very early in the development process for Mathology, Pearson Canada surveyed the educator community in Canada to identify key research areas in Canadian mathematics that are influencing mathematics instruction (K–9) today.

This document provides an overview of the topics that these educators stated were crucial to high-quality mathematics instruction. Key quotes from research articles and reference materials are presented for each topic, and connected to the development of Mathology, to show how these ideas inform the resource.
