Video Tutorials & Lesson Plans
Our short videos guide you through how to teach math concepts visually and using conceptual understanding to your class, including common student errors to watch out for. They also come with printable lesson plans to support you while teaching.
Build Numeracy and Confidence
Most adults don’t understand math conceptually or visually because we were never taught! Educating Now not only helps you to teach math but it also helps you to deeply understand it so that you can teach it way more effectively and confidently.
Utilize the New Math Curriculum
All of our lessons and resources are concept-based and competency-driven as per the new BC Curriculum. You will find each of our lessons incorporate most of the curricular competencies.
Save Time
We’ve done the prep work for you! Our lessons utilize best practices, leading students towards a deeper understanding of math by using visuals and focusing on meaning and understanding.
Improve Student Engagement
Turn ‘when are we going to need this?’ into ‘Wow! This is so cool!’ Students who are given the chance to discover mathematical concepts and properties for themselves through our carefully structured lessons appreciate and understand math in ways they never have before.
Transform Your Classroom
Transform your classroom to one where students are actively engaged in problem solving, discussing their ideas and supporting each other in their learning. With our lessons, learning becomes the focus and with that comes curiosity and motivation to learn and understand. Student confidence levels skyrocket as does their retention and achievement.
Covers Grades 4-8
We offer lessons for number and algebra concepts for grades 4-8. We are currently building our K-3 lessons at this time and will always be adding to all of our grade levels.
Developed by a Teacher
Nikki tries out these lesson plans in many classrooms, fine tuning them and making them as user-friendly as possible. Nikki has seen the profound transformations in both students and teachers when teaching math conceptually and visually and so is passionate about helping ALL teachers teach this way.
Multi Sensory Approach
In order for our brains to make sense of mathematics we need much more than just numbers, symbols and rules. We need visuals and the opportunity to talk through or draw out our understandings until we really ‘get it’. Our lessons are structured so that the brain can take it’s natural course to learning: first concretely, then pictorially, and finally symbolically.
Teaching Tips
We offer tips, activities, advice to overcome common obstacles and more in Nikki’s blog. You can read about her experiences in various classrooms that may help you in your own classroom and watch her vlogs on ways to improve your own practice and how to communicate with parents about the changes in the way we teach math.
