This is the best video I've seen on TMM! I am a new ChA director this year, and this video really put my heart to rest more than anything else I've done/seen, and we've been working on TMM at home for weeks! THANK YOU!!! ❤

Wow this was SO helpful and things are clicking in my brain now ha Thank you so much!!

SO much more helpful than anything I’ve seen so far! Thank you!

I agree. CC convolutes their communication about most things, TMM included. This is by far the most comprehensive, easy to understand explanation of TMM. Thank you Amber!

This video was so helpful! Thankyou for taking the time to put this together and sharing it! I was overwhelmed with the Math Map prior to watching this video. Now I am excited to start using it!

It took me a while too. First, I had shock, then anger, then I argued using it, then I started learning about it, and now I’m to the point I can’t imagine learning math without it. 😊

God bless you for putting this together! I will be sharing it will all my CHA families!

I truly appreciate you breaking this all down!! Thank you!❤

Thank you again for making this video! So helpful and clear!

Thank you so much for doing this! You just saved me so much time! Blessings!

THANK YOU!!! Great video and very helpful.

Thank you so much...Best explanation I've seen. Very helpful.

Thank you!!

Incredible! I’m so impressed! I wish my students were going to get to go through The Math Map!

Very helpful ❤

This video is amazing!

Thank you, Melody. That's kind of you to comment. I hope it helps people understand how things fit together.

This video is very helpful! Thank you so much for taking the time to post this! By chance, could you share a video that shows how this looks on community day in class?

I haven’t used it in class yet but I have my lesson plan. So maybe I could do a walk through for class day (without students).

Your video is so thorough, thank you so much for breaking it down and posting it. I am going to search for the "how to organize" videos you mentioned. I am also interested in how you sent the Fractions to your print service. I cant seem to get all the weeks compiled into one document to send off for printing. I too am directing and also have a younger child wanting to do Fractions, as my older child does Complex. Do you happen to have a link complied for your Fractions binder you sent off? Thanks again for your reseource and your time!

The total fractions files are about 200MB in size so I had to send individual weeks in chunks to the printer and then place in order before bringing over to FedEx to be bound.

Thank you for the breakdown of all of this! Question for using the younger domains as practice over the summer....Are the same charts also used in the Foundations levels? ie. Fractions? Thank you!

@@kellybeck3053 Yes. The charts are the same for every level/domain. They are the mastery of the material (what we are working towards).

Could you comment on the preparation you did for your daily math lesson? Did you look through the lesson pages a week before and read up (on the companion) about the concepts you weren't sure about? Thanks

Do you mean as a director? Yes, I’ve been writing out my lesson plans and I’m making sure I have some comfort with the material that we are looking at on those frame pages. And I like to know how to solve the problems for the first four pages before having the kids work on theirs in class.

I don't have my notations and fractions flashcards yet, but am wondering it there is a rhyme/reason to how the cards are arranged with respect to the content on both sides of the cards. One of my frustrations with the multiplication cards was that it was virtually impossible to separate out the cards for the current week of Math in Foundations.They just all seemed mixed up which is fine for drilling after a student is familiar with them all, but makes it difficult to sort out a subset for the current week's memory work.

I understand what you are saying. I guess that’s the downfall of having two flash cards on one card (by utilizing half of the card). I will say that they seem to keep concepts together though. So the Greek letters have a Greek letter on the back. So if you introduce alpha you probably could introduce beta on the same week (and that’s the front and back of one card).

Did you print the Fractions files yourself or find somewhere to have it printed and spiral bound?

At this point it just looks like something that could consume my entire day. My daughter hates math and I'm trying to find something that will suit her needs without causing her to have a complete meltdown. I was told that art is integrated into the curriculum. How does that work?

Where can I find Fractions in CC Connected?

Log into the Companion and instead of clicking under Complex like I do in the video, click under Fractions for each week and there will be a PDF with the pages.

The Companion is found in Semester 1, Week 7. I was just recently trying to download them, as well.

Would you be willing to share your lesson plans or lint to a site to sell them

I have shared my lesson plans in the challenge A directors groups on both Facebook and Band, for free.

Why aren’t more parents informing CC how absolutely screwed up this math program is for the majority of our community.

I will admit that I was hesitant at first (maybe even angry with the change) but the more I learn about the program the more I understand how it fits perfect with the classical model and how we conduct our strands as directors. Much more than any other math program has done.
