Math Together makes math real and exciting, encouraging upper elementary students to investigate and experiment. Lessons are arranged sequentially as students build on skills learned. The program enhances motivation and decreases anxiety, creating an environment for math literacy.
- Phase I (15 lessons) - Tutors and tutees take turns reading aloud from passages about historical figures and events. Launch activities explore concepts to be covered. Tutors introduce SOLVE, a paradigm that prompts tutees as they solve addition and subtraction word problems. Tutees then write their own problems based on the passage. At the end of each lesson, tutees respond to questions in their journals, reinforcing math concepts and writing skills.
- Phase II (15 lessons) - Follows the same format, with multiplication higher-level problem solving.
