At IDG we believe that for a district to achieve impressive student mathematics scores, Every Teacher must be a Math Teacher. This is especially important with elementary school teachers. read more
Recent studies show that many of our elementary school educators are weak in mathematics or are math-phobic. That means that those responsible for shaping childrens’ views of mathematics often do not have the confidence necessary to be flexible and innovative. Yet Teacher Colleges seldom have "special" math preparation courses for elementary majors.
In its non-threatening environment, the Free Your Mathematical Mind (FYMM) program has shown that adult learners can be coaxed into organizing and generalizing their mathematical knowledge. Then, when they realize that they can achieve the same level of competence in mathematics as in other subject areas, their anxiety and avoidance disappears.
The FYMM program provides the Mathematical content and pedagogical assistance needed on every level from Pre-K to college.The Free Your Mathematical Mind Staff Development Program is designed to re-train teachers in mathematics content. The Free Your Mathematical Mind Program starts from the beginning and completely re-teaches foundational mathematics. Teachers that go through this program develop confidence, critical thinking skills and content knowledge that greatly increases their effectiveness in the classroom using whichever instructional program or text book that is standard in their district.
The Free Your Mathmathematicalm Mind Professional Development Program provides the following benefits:
