Structure of Lessons

1. Daily Common Core Review: Helps reinforce Common Core State Standards. Ex. Mr. Martin works 9 hours each day for 5 days. What is the total number of hours he works?

2. Develop the Concept: Interactive Problem-based interactive learning: hands-on and minds-on. Develop deeper conceptual understanding. 3. Develop the Concept: Visual

Makes instruction explicit for students and parents. 4. Close/Assess and Differentiate

Research and Validity:

Does math ability improve over the course of participating in enVisionMATH?

Results showed significant growth over the two-year period in math knowledge and skills among enVisionMATH students across all grade levels and assessments. . EnVisionMATH students showed significant improvement in math concepts and problem-solving, math computation, and math vocabulary. Moreover, there is evidence of accelerated growth rates during the second year of usage of enVisionMATH in the areas of math concepts and problem solving, and math vocabulary skills. This suggests that the cumulative effects of enVisionMATH are getting stronger over time. Source: http://assets.pearsonschool.com/asset_mgr/current/20107/enVisionMATH_Efficacy_Report_Year2.pdf
