Grow Your Math Classroom
So many programs teach just basic skills such as missing angles in a triangle, but Symphony is the only program I’ve seen that will actually help the students build the intellectual skills needed to understand the fundamentals of mathematics. Without that core understanding, any learning done is shallow, and will be forgotten quickly.
I am a great supporter of the Symphony Math program. It is aligned with our current curriculum and offers daily support for my students. The home/school connection, coupled with supplemental work packets available for tutorials, makes this program a phenomenal resource for classroom teachers.
Using Symphony Math has contributed to growth and achievement in every grade level in our district. Last year, every grade in every school improved their {state test} scores. I am convinced this improvement was due in part to our focused use of Symphony Math.
Every one of my students improved on their Winter assessment, and we are seeing concepts from Symphony Math transfer to our math classrooms as well. The students love Symphony Math!
Independent Assessment
Self-administered tests track growth 3 times per year
Foundational Number Sense
Visual models help students master the BIG ideas
Math Journaling
Journaling prompts encourage reflection, skills transfer
The checkpoints are awesome with the journal entries. It’s really kickstarted my using math notebooks/ journals in general, which was always something that I didn’t get going well in the past.
