One of the major elements of the program is Think Central, Houghton Mifflin Harcourt's one-stop-shop for teaching and learning materials related to all their products, including Math Expressions. (Read more at Welcome to Think Central).
Many of our teachers have used Think Central and the Personal Math Trainer to varying degrees in the classroom, but now that we've entered into an unprecedented time of distance learning, our students stand to greatly benefit from the learning opportunities within Think Central.
Much of what's available in Think Central allows students to practice what they've already been taught, but the RTI Tier I and Tier II interactive activities walk students step-by-step through mathematical concepts, helping students understand each of the unit's big ideas. These activities are kid-friendly and all the instruction is narrated to students, as opposed to having them read text.
Teachers can use these interactive activities for instruction, instead of or in addition to creating original videos or slides.
The RTI Tier I and Tier II interactive activities are found in each grade level's Math Activity Center in RTI.
