Every Day Math New Teacher Training
Everyday Mathematics curriculum is non-traditional curriculum. EVERYDAY MATH• Teaches children the way they actually
learn mathematics. Once a new skill is introduced, the curriculum strategically revisits it over time to reinforce recent and past learning, guide students towards mastery, and promote long-term retention (spiral curriculum).
• Emphasizes conceptual understanding while building a mastery of basic skills
• Explores a broad mathematics spectrum, not just basic arithmetic
Everyday Math and Common Core State Standards
Everyday Math was built on a foundation from the National Council of Teachers of Mathematics(NCTM). The CCSS are based on process standards identified by the NCTM, therefore, the standards and practices for those who use EM will be much easier to implement.

Program Highlights • Problem solving in everyday situations• Developing readiness through hands-on
activities• Establishing links between past experiences and
explorations of new concepts• Sharing ideas through discussion• Cooperative learning through partner and small
group activities• Practice through games• Ongoing review throughout the year• Daily routines
Prof. Dev. Videos
There are 199 videos that are extremely helpful in helping you learn how to teach EDM. Please go to this website and register by clicking login by clicking BECOME A NEW MEMBER.: http://vlc.cemseprojects.org
On the HOME page it looks like this:
Log in and click the orange box (WATCH EM LESSONS IN ACTION) watch 4 or 5 videos related to your grade level.
Bookmark this page so you can return to it throughout the year Go to the Discussion Board and respond to the thread about
these videos.
Managing the CurriculumOpen your TRM and read page 8-223 General Types of Routines:1) Daily Routines2) Program Routines3) Math Modeling

Daily Routines• Introduced in Unit 1• Take time-teach them well and
you will save yourself time in the future
• Examples: class calendar, money, calculator routines, patterns, etc.

Program Routines• Activities that are built into
lessons in the Teacher’s Lesson Guide, and maintained across units and grade levels (explorations, games, etc.)

Parents & Homework• Home-links are provided with the
curriculum• These are often hard and confusing for
parents. We do NOT require that you send these
• Some teachers send some but don’t send home-links that are extremely difficult or confusing.
• Some teachers send home fluency practice instead-that’s ok and we support with research that says that the only kind of homework that provides an effect size on student achievement is fact fluency practice.

Fact FluencyMath Games
• Are essential component to the curriculum and a fun and engaging way for students to become fluent in math computation
• Each grade level has a supplemental way to assess facts
• Do not skip the games. Each team usually has a plan for how to use games. Talk to your co-teachers.

Assessment• Every grade gives a Unit Test. ONLY
PART A is given a grade-it is a summative assessment. Part B is formative for future planning. You score it but it should not effect a student’s report card.
• This data is turned in for data entry and data team meetings. As with HM Tests, never send them home until the office has recorded data on a spreadsheet first.

Assessment (cont’d)Math Boxes
• In every lesson• Not intended to reinforce the
objective of the lesson, but, they provide continuous distributed practice of skills.
• Math Boxes that reinforce previously learned skills can be used as a daily grade.

Intervention: Focus Group• Use your data (Unit Tests and Math
Boxes)• Pull small groups-use the same format
that you learned in the HM module (UA). Use 21 Day plan here too.
• Independent workers can do math games, workbook pages from the day’s lesson, PLATO, Khan Academy, projects in EM
• Use your Differentiation Handbook for EM

Reflection Time
• Go to your EDM Reflection Journal. Do you have questions that are still unanswered?
• How do you feel about sending homework—I know you haven’t talked to your team yet but what type of homework, if any, are you thinking of sending? (This is good to sort out before Open House—parents will ask)
