Math Productive Instructional Routines (MPIRs)

According to OSPI, "Mathematically Productive Instructional Routines (MPIRs) are high leverage instructional routines that focus on student ideas as central to learning, make student thinking visible, and provide opportunities for mathematical discourse thereby allowing opportunities for students to make sense of mathematics. Consistently engaging students in these routines can change student’s dispositions about mathematics, support shifts in instructional practice, and deepen mathematical content knowledge and a growth mindset for both students and teachers. Using these routines consistently supports teachers in focusing on student thinking, as opposed to focusing on what the teacher is doing. Moreover, routines specifically support students who are identified as requiring additional assistance or who are in need of language support."

Digital Tools

Digital Tools from Ready Classroom

Manipulatives. There's never enough. They get lost and, let's face it, they can be noisy and chaotic.

But, they do support student learning. Ready Math includes some amazing digital tools that address those problems and provide features that traditional manipulatives just can't. These can be found in Teacher Toolbox as well as in the student dashboard. See the video above for more information!

Math Learning Center's Digital Tools

The Math Learning Center has developed free digital manipulatives as well. You can find them by clicking on the link above.
