11/20/2019This training is designed for teachers that have never been trained on the Get More Math program. We will begin by looking at how Get More Math improves a typical math classroom and give an in-depth demonstration of the program’s most important features. We will discuss best practices for increased success as well as common mistakes to avoid. This program works because it was developed by Josh Britton, a former PA math teacher. Josh created and developed Get More Math while working in his classroom to support initial mastery and long-term retention for grades 4 through Algebra I and Geometry.
