Grow your understanding of the math you teach and turn that into hands-on learning experiences
Our program will help you develop confidence in your math content knowledge, feel more strategic in planning lessons that build conceptual understanding, and give you the tools needed to create more "lightbulb" moments in your classroom.
I'M READY TO JOIN
Before I tell you about this program,
let's make sure you're a good fit...
Mix and Math 360° is right for you if you're a math teacher, coach, or interventionist who works with students in 4th or 5th grade and you want your students to truly understand the math concepts they're learning (instead of memorizing a set of rules or procedures).
You are right for Mix and Math 360° if you're a life-long learner and aren't simply looking for a quick fix (let's be honest... there's no such thing as a quick fix in education). You love feeling like you're growing and want to be inspired with new ideas for teaching math!
If you are...
-
A newer teacher who has some anxiety around teaching math because you were never "good" at math in school and now you have to teach it to a room full of students when you have very little confidence in your own math abilities
-
A veteran teacher who just got moved to upper elementary who needs a little help understanding the math concepts taught in 4th and 5th because it's been years since you've had to multiply decimals or divide fractions
-
An experienced 4th or 5th grade math teacher seeing decent success in the classroom and you're interested in trying new strategies to better meet the learning needs of all your students
-
A self-proclaimed math nerd or math coach who just loves learning new ways to teach students and/or teachers about different math concepts and actually finds joy in reading the newly-released math PD books
You're in the right place, math friend!
This program was created for teachers just like you!
Mix and Math 360° will give you the tools, inspiration, and support to strengthen your own understanding of the different math concepts you teach, use math manipulatives to create hands-on learning experiences in your classroom, and celebrate the moments when math finally "clicks" for your students.
Imagine how you'll feel when you have...
In-depth knowledge of every math concept you teach
without spending hours searching for articles online or sifting through your district's site to find what you need
Systems for planning lessons that lead to understanding
and meet the learning needs of your students, even those who come to you with gaps in their understanding
Highly-engaged students who look forward to math class
and are thinking and learning in the process (because you don't have to choose between engagement and rigor)
Increased fulfillment in your role as a math teacher
and many more "this is why I do what I do" moments as what you're teaching students begins to click
"Being in Mix and Math 360° has totally changed my life as an educator.
As a classroom teacher, I would always watch the content videos during my plan time. It allowed me to see the conceptual strategies and vocabulary my students would need to master grade-level standards. I have always felt super supported by the Mix and Math team and the 360° community. There was never a question that would go unanswered, a moment of frustration unresolved, and most importantly an accomplishment not praised. The knowledge I have gained from being a Mix and Math 360° member gave me the confidence to become a math instructional coach so that I could support other teachers on their journey to teaching math conceptually!"
Gabriela O.
"I found out today that my 50 students scored the highest on their end-of-year math test than any other class in the entire district. I definitely contribute this to Mix and Math 360°. I learned what effective math instruction looks like and sounds like. I did everything suggested and it paid off for those kiddos in the end.
Lyndsie D.
"My students absolutely rocked fractions and I know it is because of the shift in my practice that came from using math manipulatives to build understanding. I feel energized when I put Mix and Math 360° resources into practice, especially in small groups. The light bulb moments are constantly happening!"
Lorin A.
"Mix and Math 360° has helped me become a better math teacher. I've always loved math and it comes easy to me, but I struggled to help students who didn’t understand it the way I did. The conceptual understanding of math has been a game-changer for me. I'm able to help my struggling students much better."

"Becoming a member of Mix and Math 360° was the absolute best decision I have made in my 17 years of teaching math!
When I joined, I had 10 years of teaching experience in grades seven & eight, and later moved to fifth grade for the next two years. I went into this new position believing I had enough experience to excel as a fifth grade teacher. I was WRONG. The videos that Brittany created gave me insight into the depth I needed to teach in order for the students to learn conceptually about place value, multiplication, division, and other concepts. My students became more engaged, showed a tremendous amount of growth, and actually started to enjoy coming to math class."

"this sounds amazing, but I'm just not 100% sure..."
We invite you to give Mix and Math 360° a 7-day risk-free try if any of the following resonates with you:
You believe (or want to believe) all your students are capable of endless lightbulb moments.
It's undeniable that too many students have gaps in understanding or unfinished learning. Even if students appear to "get it," you're not confident they truly understand what they're doing and why it works.
You've seen students experience lightbulb moments in the classroom, but maybe they're far and few between and you don't feel like you have a way of teaching that produces math experiences that "click" on a regular basis for all your students no matter where they are at in their learning journey.
For the record, endless lightbulb moments are entirely possible for you and your students!
You crave more "this is why I do what I do" experiences during your math block.
Think about those times when you step back and think, "this is why I do what I do." These are the little moments that add up to true fulfillment in your role as a math teacher.
Despite the demands and changes and pressures the school system puts on you, you hang onto the time when a student who was struggling confidently exclaims, "I GET IT!" or the time when you overhear the student who started the year hating math tell his parents that math is his favorite subject. These experiences bring you back to your why and make the challenges a little more worth it.
Let's create more of these experiences for you!
You recognize the value in investing in your own growth and learning from others.
After going through a handful of curriculum adoptions and still feeling the need to purchase dozens of math resources on TPT to supplement, you realize that the "perfect" math resource does not exist.
To truly meet the needs of your students, you know you need to be the expert of your classroom who can make adjustments and modify when needed. That requires growth on your part and taking the time to learn how to teach in a way that students really understand and are fully engaged in the math they are learning.
Growth doesn't have to be overly time-consuming or dreadful. It can be and should be inspiring!

"I’m a visual learner, so the various modalities of Mix and Math 360° has helped me more than anything else I’ve seen in math education!"
Using the strategies that I've learned through Mix and Math 360° actually made my teaching more dynamic and allowed students to see connections between addition, subtraction, multiplication and division far more than the curriculum that we were using because it explicitly embedded those connections into the strategies that we were learning."
Laura M
"I more clearly understand how to teach math for conceptual understanding. The videos have helped me understand the why behind many concepts, especially with adding and subtracting fractions."
Patty B.
"One of my biggest wins was seeing an overall transformation in my math thinking and teaching. I knew there was a better way but didn’t have the resources needed until I found Mix and Math 360°!"

Hey math friend!
I don't know what brought you here, but I'm so glad you found your way here. I created this program alongside a team of other educators because I wanted every teacher to experience the transformation that I had as a math teacher, without going through all the struggles and late nights at school that I spent.
When I first started teaching, I shared many of the same frustrations you might have, so I invested countless hours (and dollars) learning everything I could about how elementary students learn math.
I saw tremendous growth from all students when I focused on conceptual understanding through hands-on work instead of relying on textbooks and drilling students with math rules. I gained a new confidence and a different outlook on math education. I found true joy and fulfillment in teaching math!
If you're struggling as a math teacher or you're not fully confident in your understanding of the math you teach, you're not alone. Mix and Math 360° was born from teachers like you asking "how do I get students to truly understand dividing decimals?" or "how do you use pattern blocks to teach fractions?" or "that video was so helpful, do you have more?"
I want to help you gain the knowledge it took me years to get so you can be the math teacher you desire to be.
Just because you experienced math one way, doesn't mean you aren't capable of creating entirely different experiences for your students! I can't wait to meet you, teach you, and walk alongside you inside Mix and Math 360° this year!
Cheering for you,
NOW'S THE TIME, MATH FRIEND.
