Welcome to Mountain Math & Mountain Language!
Mountain Math / Language is a colorful, year-round,
and reusable bulletin board. It is a review program that supplements whatever
program you are using. Mountain Math / Language, in and of itself, is
not a total program. It is to be used to aid in review and retention of
previously taught concepts.
Mountain Math / Language are
programs which are based on the concepts taught at each grade level. Each
grade has a math/language board that focuses on that grade level's concepts.
Mountain Math / Language allows
you to review and preview concepts on a weekly basis or more often if
you prefer. Mountain Math / Language will decrease the time a teacher
needs to spend on computational and language skills. A teacher can spend
10-15 minutes a day using Mountain Math / Language to keep concepts fresh.
Mountain Math / Language are
flexible teaching tools; they allow teachers to incorporate them with
their individual teaching styles. They can be used as a class activity,
an individual activity, with partners, or in cooperative learning groups.
Mountain Math / Language gives students the opportunity to communicate
using math/language terminology. You will amazed at the increased mastery
level of your students. More instructional time can be devoted to teaching
application skills and higher order thinking skills.
Mountain Math / Language also
serves as an excellent means of assessment for teachers. Teachers can
readily detect problem areas and adjust the teaching process to deal with
the concepts their students are having difficulty with.
Each Mountain Math / Language
kit includes enough concept cards to provide adequate review throughout
the year. The concept cards are printed on the highest quality card stock
available. Instructions and concept sheets are also included.
After developing and using
Mountain Math / Language for several years in our own classrooms, we have
noticed a dramatic improvement in our students' retention skills. We think
you will too! |
