What They're Saying
Number Corner

Teachers

Number Corner gives the kids an experience in math that they love doing and teaches real math sense! It’s a situation where everyone has real success with an integrated approach using math and everyday situations
- Kindergarten Teacher, Pittsburgh, PA

Students are learning specific things like days of the week, recognizing and using patterns, and how to say the date. They are also learning how to listen to and learn from each other.
- Kindergarten Teacher, West Linn, OR

Students are being exposed to mathematical concepts in a consistent and developmentally appropriate manner. They know concepts about money, time, place value, and computation that wouldn’t have been introduced yet in our past program.

I find myself touching on many areas at one time — not teaching a unit and going on to some other concept. It’s like teaching in a spiral instead of a straight line
- Grades 1-2, Teacher, Gillette WY

Number Corner is a wonderful way to provide practice in all the math strands throughout the year.
- Grades 1-2 Teacher, Salem, OR

It expands their thinking – looking for characteristics beyond the obvious with the calendar markers. Number Corner gives them practice with different concepts continuously throughout the year. For example, time and money, and place value.
- Grade 2 Teacher, Oregon City, OR

I see students being more confident in sharing their thinking in front of the room. A Russian student not talking in class shared at Number Corner and all students clapped for him. A very low academic student was first one to notice the leaf pattern in the calendar. She was very excited.
- Grade 2 Teacher, Clackamas, OR

What a difference this program has made in bringing more math to my kids. They are absolutely soaking it up. After working in fractions they actually thanked me for teaching them and then wanted to do more instead of going to recess.
- Grade 3 Teacher, Lynnwood, WA

I had a high number of special needs students this year and Number Corner proved to be especially effective for that group. The short time frame and mixed practice really assisted these students in gaining skill with important 3rd grade concepts.
- Grade 3 Teacher, Gresham, OR

The multiplication strategies in Number Corner have been such a success in my classroom. They empower students and you can see the wheels turning as they solve a problem.
- Grade 4 Teacher, Ft. Bridger, WY

Number Corner really promotes thinking out of the box and thinking about problems differently. I have seen my class transfer these skills to other curriculum areas as well.

My class and I have loved each month's Number Corner. We always love looking for new patterns.
