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.

267% average math achievement increase across DMTI partner schools. GAO report confirms: collaborative, classroom-embedded PD drives results. Not workshops. Real support in real classrooms. Read the data: #MathEducation #DMTFramework #StudentSuccess
New GAO Report Validates DMTI's Approach to Teacher Professional Development | Math Success
Education Week reports on new GAO findings: collaborative, classroom-embedded PD improves test scores. DMTI
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.

DMT Framework tip: Use structural language (Unit, Compose, Decompose) across ALL math topics. Students describe thinking precisely, build deeper understanding. Differentiation becomes natural. Learn more: #MathEducation #DMTFramework #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):

Why Teachers Are Exhausted by Math Instruction
If you
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.
