Is early childhood math education the most important factor in later life success?

Elementary teachers are tasked with teaching all subjects.

Mathematics is often deprioritized and teachers rely on the materials purchased by the school or district to execute their instruction.

Elementary teachers often don’t understand mathematics conceptually, which challenges their ability to be effective with student learning and retention.

In 4th grade, 80% of students test fluent. Yet, in 8th grade, less than 20%.

Students are not truly learning, they’re memorizing and getting through the test.

Math proficiency is demonstrated to benefit language proficiency, yet in an educational environment of competing budget allocations on initiatives, language tends to be prioritized.

Language is important and integrally related to mathematics.

Students who understand math, understand patterns, have increased critical thinking, and make better decision across their lives - in choosing pursuits, health, wealth, and happiness.

At the Developing Mathematical Thinking Institute, we’re here to help teachers, parents, and all educators get the most out of math instruction.

Our comprehensive program includes full curriculum, diagnostics, intervention activities, supplemental materials, games, and full support to ensure mathematics are taught and understood optimally.
