Our Products and People
Math MileMarkers® has created a series of instructional stories designed to build in-depth understanding of the standards, while making learning math meaningful and fun for kids .We want children to explore math concepts with interesting characters, and great visual models. Our stories offer a great launching pad for children to discuss math situations with friends, not just do math.
One of the most powerful ways to use our stories is to ask children to Retell or Recreate the story. Retelling is a highly effective comprehension strategy, so using it with math stories just makes sense. Our companion activities including MileMarkers Math Talk and Storyboard templates, help children interact with the content and bring the standards to life in a new way. They are the perfect way to help young children learn to love math.
Every member of the Math4Minors writing team is a licensed teacher or Instructional Math Leader with extensive experience working with children and developing lessons with clear learning intentions. Our team is committed to helping parents, teachers and children better understand math concepts and how they unfold within the learning trajectory. More importantly, we understand the importance of using visual models to support all learners and believe in the power of math storytelling.
