Who’s With Us?Who’s done Cooperation or Coordination
with Math Teachers?
How about Collaboration?
Who would like to make Collaboration happen with Math Teachers?

Collaboration Obstacles
“I don’t know math well”
“I’m not able to make tech purchasing decisions”
“The math teachers are too busy to co-plan”
“Math teachers have their own tech”
“We don’t really have math books”
X = Perspectives and Communication
“Math teachers are under a lot of pressure and don’t have room in the curriculum”“I don’t
know how to help”

Collaboration Obstacles
“We’ve never tried that” “I already
get the PD I need”“I find my own resources”
“The librarian is so busy”
“Tech gets in the way”
“I don’t think the librarian really knows math”
X = Perspectives and Communication
“There’s no way I can fit anything else into my curriculum”
“I don’t need help in my class”

X = Finding Fertile Ground
Cooperation Getting into Common Core Hand-picking digital resources
& mediaCoordination Authentic math learning
through tech Embedding math into other
content areasCollaboration Picking out PD Co-planning the perfect “fit”

X = Finding Fertile Ground
Curriculum Approaches Seeing broadly – getting
beyond drills and skills Authentic Learning -
focusing on inquiry and finding math in everyday life
Support, Support, Support Empowering the LMS –
confidence is key Bridging the gap – school and
district leaders as connecting agents
