Math is built on the
NINE QUANTITIES
we count and measure
Our online math workshops are built to introduce teachers and administrators to 9Q Math's methods for making math come alive in the classroom, ending the glazed over look we see in the eyes of so many of our students.
Summer Fun Packets are now here! The packets allow families to count and measure their way through the 9 quantities of the math curriculum, introducing the language used in those seemingly unreadable word problem!
On-site consulting offers teachers the opportunity to introduce the math of their very own curricular materials with concrete activities like weighing a bag of sugar or timing how long it takes to fill a bottle of water.
Our Mission
Beginning with measuring the nine quantities and the natural activities of combining and comparing that arise when measuring, we build activities that make elementary mathematics come alive.
Noticing the relationships that naturally arise when measuring, we build activities that make middle school mathematics come alive. After a few years of measuring, combining and comparing measures, and noticing relationships between measures, the characteristics of those relationships come alive for secondary school students.
ELEMENTARY
Counting beans by 16's?
This workshop introduces participants to the four main ideas underlying the elementary grades curriculum allowing participants to see these main ideas in the problems of their textbooks and assessments. This workshop is ideally offered in four sessions, which could span 2 full days (morning and afternoon sessions), 4 half days, or 4 online sessions (4 consecutive days or 4 consecutive weeks).
MIDDLE GRADES
Who's fooling us? Our Scale or Our Store
This workshop introduces participants to the four main ideas underlying the middle grades curriculum allowing participants to see these main ideas in the problems of their textbooks and assessments. This workshop is ideally offered in four sessions, which could span 2 full days (morning and afternoon sessions), 4 half days, or 4 online sessions (4 consecutive days or 4 consecutive weeks).
SECONDARY
Is the cost & number of pencils proportional?
This workshop introduces participants to the four main ideas underlying the secondary grades curriculum allowing participants to see these main ideas in the problems of their textbooks and assessments. This workshop is ideally offered in four sessions, which could span 2 full days (morning and afternoon sessions), 4 half days, or 4 online sessions (4 consecutive days or 4 consecutive weeks).
What They're Saying About 9Q Math
“Every class, every student, is engaged. Blocks [for measuring lengths, areas and volumes] make such a big difference. They can articulate math with them.”
“Thank you so much for meeting with me today. You lifted a weight from my shoulders. I knew we needed to do something different but didn’t know what it is. Thank you.
”
“My kids aren’t scared of math time anymore!”
