Redbird Mathematics: Adaptive, Project-Based, Digital Learning for K-7 Students

1/30/2019

4 Comments

 
Picture
Redbird Mathematics from McGraw Hill Education is a K-7 mathematics curriculum that was developed by Stanford University and features adaptive instruction, gamification, and digital project-based learning.  The curriculum is designed to give students the opportunity to not only understand mathematics skills, but to apply and create using those skills as well.  

​The curriculum, which is CCSS-aligned, also incorporates STEM projects and career connections to help students better understand how math skills are applicable outside of the classroom.  
 
Redbird Math can be implemented at the individual, small-group, or whole-class level, and is meant to support and supplement what teachers are already doing in their classroom, not to act as a digital instructor or replacement to classroom instruction.  Rather, Redbird aims to give students the tools and skills they need through interactive instruction followed by application to engaging, real-world problems.
