Math teacher Janie MacIntyre used her McAuliffe funds to see whether her success with Thinking

Maps could be replicated throughout Rocky Mount, NC. MacIntyre, who teaches low-performing eighth-graders, saw her students make the biggest gains in

the school.

Using teacher logs of their Thinking Map use and videotapes of their teaching, MacIntyre found that the more the teachers used the maps, the

better their students did on the EOG’s. Overall, developmental growth for low-performing

students quadrupled.

“Quantifying what works is a big step in improving the teaching profession and

improving instruction for all students, she says. In academia, “If you don’t document it, it

didn’t happen.”

Why we

study Math in School?

“Because it’s hard and we have to learn hard things at school. We learn easy stuff at home like

manners.”

“Because it’s important. It’s a

law from President Clinton and it says so in the Bible on the first page.”

“Because what would you do with your check from work when you

grow up?.”

“Because it always comes

after Reading.”

“Because you have to count if you want to be an astronaut. Like 10 . . . 9 . . . 8 . . . Blast

off!.”

K-3 Students

Why we

study Math in School?

“Because you could never find the right

page.”

“Because when you

grow up you couldn’t tell if you are rich or

not.”

“Because my teacher could get sued if we don’t, that’s what she

said. Any subject we don’t know - WHAM! She gets sued. And she

is already poor.
