On Teaching Math – Simplifying the profession to allow math educators to focus on the art of teaching!
At ‘On Teaching Math,’ our mission is to empower math educators by providing comprehensive instructional materials, resources, and activities. We aim to alleviate the burdens of content creation, allowing teachers to focus on utilizing engaging materials to transform their classrooms. Our commitment is to make math classes more meaningful and enjoyable for students, while elevating the rigor and expectations to foster academic excellence.
Our Company
On Teaching Math is the brainchild of its founder, Philip Brown. Frustrated by the challenge of crafting meaningful lessons amid a landscape dominated by isolated and disconnected procedures, Philip was compelled to take action. The company is driven by a mission to address this gap and provide resources that enable educators to deliver impactful and connected learning experiences for students.
In our relentless pursuit of empowering teachers, our product research and development at ‘On Teaching Math’ is driven by a singular goal – to deliver educators meaningful lessons, activities, and assessments with minimal time investment. Each resource undergoes meticulous development and testing, incorporating valuable feedback from both students and teachers. This iterative process ensures that our offerings are refined and effective before they reach the public. Our mission is to revolutionize your classroom by providing proven materials that not only engage and challenge students but are also effortlessly adaptable to meet your unique needs.
In short, here are the keys, have fun!
Our Approach
At ‘On Teaching Math,’ our approach is deliberate and thorough. Unlike organizations driven solely by profitability metrics, we prioritize your success as an educator. Our mission is to assist you in becoming the best teacher possible by freeing you from the demands of content creation, enabling you to channel your time and energy into the art of teaching. The development of our materials and resources is a meticulous process that involves extensive time, effort, and refinement.
Take, for instance, our unit on Polynomials for Algebra 1 students – a three-year journey. In the first year, content is created and piloted, incorporating valuable feedback for improvement. Year two sees the implementation of revised materials with new activities, followed by another round of feedback and refinement. By the third year, the materials undergo thorough testing, final fine-tuning, and are then offered to the public. This careful and dedicated approach ensures that our resources not only meet the highest standards but also serve as reliable tools for enhancing the teaching and learning experience in your classroom.
Despite the time-consuming and exhaustive nature of our work, we take immense pride in the final products we deliver. The dedication invested in the meticulous development, testing, and refinement process ensures that each resource we offer is a testament to our commitment to excellence. We believe that the effort expended in crafting these materials translates into invaluable tools that empower educators and transform classrooms, making the journey well worth the investment.
