What to Look For 2
Understanding and Developing Student Thinking in Multiplicative Reasoning
By Alex Lawson, Heather Wark, Melanie Biesenthal
Although not always obvious, multiplicative reasoning is foundational to much of the junior mathematics curriculum—fractions and coding as examples—in addition to multiplication and division. Building a solid foundation to develop this reasoning, one that will meet the needs of a wide range of students, requires a carefully designed developmental pathway. What to Look For 2 provides you with this pathway.
What to Look For
Understanding and Developing Student Thinking in Early Numeracy
By Alex Lawson
- Understand and develop early numeracy
- Identify what a student's thinking reveals about his or her understanding and implement next steps to advance problem-solving strategies
- Includes videos that showcase student development and more
Rethinking Fractions
By Catherine D. Bruce, Tara Flynn, Shelley Yearley
This resource will help students to develop a deep understanding of
- unit fractions (the base of all fractions); and
- the eight core concepts (the keys to unlocking fractions understanding).
For educators, this resource will help you to assess students’ understanding and possible misconceptions via the use of targeted, field-tested questions and recommended next steps that
- reveal student understanding; and
- respond to student needs (with precise and differentiated tasks and instruction).
Taking Shape
Activities to Develop Geometric and Spatial Thinking, Grades K-2
By Cathy Bruce, Tara Flynn, Joan Moss, Beverley Caswell, & Zachary Hawes
- Develop spatial reasoning—beyond basic, static geometry
- Studies suggest that early spatial thinking abilities can promote overall math capabilities
- Includes activities, full lesson plans, and more
Teaching Math with Meaning
Cultivating Self-Efficacy through Learning Competencies, Grades K-8
By Cathy Marks Krpan
- Creative thinking, communication, personal and social competencies—what do they look like in practice?
- Background information and links to research introduce a range of activities that teachers can implement in their classrooms today.
Early Research
Early in the development process, we reviewed key mathematics research with educators like you. This crucial step helped build a deep understanding of math learning and the needs of teachers into the Mathology program. Want to discover exactly what we learned?
Pearson's Mathematics Learning Progression
Finding math resources you can trust can be difficult and time-consuming. Mathology’s classroom resources are based on a learning progression backed by insights from teacher interviews, focus groups, and classroom observations–along with the best of academic research and pedagogical approaches. So you can focus on teaching, not searching for resources.
Pearson Canada’s Learning Progression shows you how students’ mathematical learning and knowledge grows over time. This Mathematics-based document reflects much of the recent investigation into mathematical learning while accommodating curricula through its focus on big ideas in mathematics.
