Math Teachers' Press
A+ Test Prep & Tutoring is proud to use the excellent
materials created by Math Teachers Press. For our students
in kindergarten through eighth grade, instruction begins
with an educational evaluation. If it is determined
that it would be helpful to supplement your child's
math text from school, we use this innovative curriculum.
Please call our office for information about educational
evaluations.
Math Teachers Press, Inc., was founded in 1981 by Caryl
K. Pierson, an educator for 35 years, who was frustrated
by the materials available to teach math. While teaching
math to non-English speaking students, she discovered
the power of manipulatives to convey abstract concepts
even when there is no common language between the instructor
and the student. After further study and review of the
research supporting the use of manipulatives for all
students, Pierson and her team of experts developed
the Moving with Math program to use manipulatives to
teach all essential math concepts from pre-kindergarten
through pre-algebra.
A comprehensive list of objectives was produced after
validation in extensive classroom testing. These objectives
closely parallel those of traditional teaching materials,
state and local tests, and standardized achievement
tests.
The program goals closely parallel those of the National
Council of Teachers of Mathematics Curriculum and Evaluation
Standards which emphasize using manipulatives, reasoning,
communication, connections and problem solving at all
levels. Real world problems and problem solving strategies,
such as drawing pictures, acting out problems and finding
the pattern, are an integral part of each lesson plan.
All instructional material is developed by classroom
teachers, who are aware of the need for simple and effective
program support.
