NBD Math
NBD Math is designed to work in different ways. You decide which method is best for your situation.
It's UDL in action! Universal Design for Learning, or UDL, "emphasizes additional aspects of learning, such as processing information and building deeper comprehension of content; utilizing executive functioning, organizational skills, and progress monitoring abilities; engaging in the learning environment; and defining self-assessment and self-reflection strategies," www.nea.org
Hybrid Method: A teacher or interventionist is involved. Students log in to our class for about 30 minutes, then spend the rest of class engaging in practice, engagement, and enrichment with your staff.
Intervention Method: A teacher or interventionist is involved. Students log in to our class for about 30 minutes during an intervention pull-out block and complete the class independently (yes, they can do it on their own!).
Independent Student or Home School: Students work on their own. They log in to our class, either at home or school, and complete the class independently (yes, they can do it on their own!).
Every method includes all math standards for the grade level, lessons and assessments, and a detailed grade book. We handle the planning, the grading, and the scope and sequence. You handle the games, activities, projects, or extra practice you want to include.
