Transforming K-6 math education with focus on structural language, modeling, conceptual learning, and connections to the real world students know. Procedures are too often the focus of math lessons, which greatly limits student understanding and achievement. When students see how and why the procedures work, conceptually, they retain learning much longer and achievement vastly increases. Based on decades of research, our approach has proven to increase success while making teachers and students LOVE math.

Just completed research on 20 rural school districts across ID, OR, WY, CO. Key insight: Budget season is NOW (Feb-April). These districts are actively evaluating PD options for FY2027. Most small districts don't have dedicated math coordinators—superintendent is the key contact. Timing matters. Reach out during budget planning, not after. #MathEducation #RuralSchools #TeacherPD

Rural multi-grade classrooms thrive with flexible frameworks. DMT's structural language adapts naturally—no extra prep needed. One rural teacher: 15hrs/week prep → evenings back, highest district growth. #MathEducation #DMTFramework #RuralEd #ElementaryMath

Calling all 3rd-5th grade teachers! 🙋‍♀️ Does teaching fractions feel like pulling teeth? Try the CRA sequence: 1. Concrete (manipulatives) 2. Representational (drawings) 3. Abstract (numbers) Most kids struggle because we skip straight to abstract.

Teacher friends: Can we talk about PD? Most of us have sat through boring, one-time workshops that had ZERO impact on our teaching. The research agrees. Study of 200 schools found: → One-time workshops: No significant impact → Ongoing coaching: Large impact (d=0.47) Yet schools keep spending money on workshops. New blog post breaks down what actually works (and the ROI): #teacherpd #mathpd #elementarymath #teacherprofessionaldevelopment #mathstr

Your child doesn't need more worksheets. They need better thinking tools. 🧰 The 4 visual models that transform math learning: → Number lines (see the magnitude) → Bar models (see the relationships) → Area models (see the multiplication) → Ratio tables (see the patterns) When kids can SEE math, they stop memorizing and start thinking.

Students struggle with word problems because they memorized procedures without understanding concepts. 📊 DMTI research: Students who explore concepts BEFORE procedures show 3x better transfer to novel problems. Try this sequence: 1. Concrete exploration (manipulatives) 2. Representational (drawings/models) 3. Abstract (symbols/procedures) Why it matters: Conceptual first = lasting understanding. Procedures first = fragile knowledge. Full research: https://mathsuccess.dmtinstitute.com/p/conceptual-understanding #mathstr #moredtmi #matheducation #teachersofnostr

Why does every 3rd grader suddenly "hate" math? 📉 The 3rd grade math wall is REAL. Here's what changes: → Multiplication (abstract thinking) → Multi-step problems → Fractions (🤯) → Complex word problems Your child isn't struggling because they're "bad at math."
