About this website Because teachers realize that the ultimate test of mastering new material
is how effectively that material is transmitted to their students, it is a natural reaction on their part to ask such questions
as “How can I use this material in my classroom?” Our website is dedicated to answering that question.
In particular, our experience indicates that students, especially those who do not expect to enter a mathematics-related field
see mathematics as a series of disconnected topics, none of which have a direct bearing on their lives. The material
that you will find on this website is based on a single thread that unifies the entire mathematics curriculum and at the same
time interweaves mathematics with history, language, art and science in a way that all ages and learning styles can appreciate. To help teachers transmit their mastery of arithmetic in ways that their students can internalize
effectively, we have developed a three-pronged approach: - Teacher PowerPoints - a condensed, teacher-oriented version
of our comprehensive arithmetic course available on www.adjectivenounmath.com. Every topic is included the common core curriculum.
- Student PowerPoints - developed specifically for teachers to use in class with their students.
They are an adaptation of material in the corresponding teachers PowerPoints categorized by grade level (and assigned
a Common Curriculum number).
- Printable, editable handouts for teachers to use for classwork, homework, and enrichment exercises.
