Curriculum and Instructional Materials

TMP cross-sector teams throughout Washington State have devoted their expertise and energy in developing content-rich products and methods to improve math instruction. 

This section is a repository of curriculum and instructional resources created by these groups for all teachers to use in their classrooms. 

 

Many of the Transition Math Project’s (TMP) Phase II partnerships focused efforts on developing context in curriculum, courses, and supportive instruction materials, such as evaluations and assessments. 

The thread of contextual learning tying these products together speaks to the recognition and shared need to bring mathematics alive through real-world scenarios and applications.   In many cases, students simply lack an understanding of the power that math proficiency brings to personal lifestyles and professional options.   The following stories of Phase II partnerships demonstrate a fundamental mathematics principle: 


Relevance + College Readiness =   Success.

Want a FREE online resource to manage your math courses and assessment? Look no further than the Washington Mathematics Assessment and Placement website – WAMAP.org.  This web platform helps deliver homework, quizzes, tests, and diagnostics for teachers, and provides immediate feedback to students on algorithmically generated questions. 


Using the TMP web conferencing platform, TMP's partner, the Whatcom County Math Project, brought its team together to introduce and discuss a series of four workshops on writing math lessons targeting one CRS content strand and two process strands. The project culminated with the filming of one of the lessons in an Algebra II classroom by a first year teacher from outside the project.
You'll want to see the results of this project because you are sure to take away with you lots of ideas!
