What Is Total Math?
Download the Free Scope and Sequence
Total Math provides lessons and materials in a framework of whole class direct instruction followed by teacher-led learning to monitor, support, and deepen mathematical understanding. This multifaceted framework supports flexibility in teaching yielding high-impact instructional practices with timely and relevant scaffolding and differentiation for all learners.
Total Math is a vertically aligned coherent curriculum. Mathematical ideas build on one another so students’ understanding and knowledge deepen while their ability to apply mathematics expands. Total math integrates conceptual understanding and procedural proficiency through the use of physical and visual models, multiple representations, academic language, flexible fluency, procedural strategies, connected content, and real-world connections.
Focused on creating a community of collaborative mathematical thinkers, Total Math components ensure a well-rounded math experience through varied learning structures and collaborative learning tasks. Parallel to the daily aligned learning options, scaffolded and differentiated materials provide equitable access to label-free teacher-led math support through high-quality content to meet varied instructional needs.
✏️The Total Math Classroom
The total math classroom provides the framework to learn together as a community of mathematical thinkers where math isn’t just numbers on a page–it’s an engaging, cooperative, hands-on experience.
A total math classroom is active! We talk about math, share our thinking, move to different activities in the room, and explore many ways to solve problems. We split our time between direct instruction, teacher-led learning, and cooperative and individual learning tasks.
Total Math provides a well-rounded math experience involving conceptual hands-on learning, procedural problem-solving, vibrant visuals, academic vocabulary, interactive technology, collaboration, and movement. Students actively participate in all facets of the learning as a community of confident and capable mathematicians.
