In building Amplify Desmos Math California, we partnered with the English Learner Success Forum (ELSF) to provide guidance on our multilingual/English learner support for teachers. ELSF is a national nonprofit organization that advocates for high-quality instructional materials that are inclusive of multilingual learners. ELSF’s guiding documents reflect research-based instructional strategies that are critical to curriculum design and were created by researchers, linguists, and practitioners from across the country. ELSF reviewed our materials and provided directional guidance and feedback to ensure that the program fully supports multilingual/English learners.

A component of our K–5 curriculum is the engaging unit stories that interweave mathematics with real-life situations and relatable narratives. These unit stories are specifically crafted to inspire curiosity and foster a deep connection between the learner and the math concepts being explored. This unique approach not only makes learning fun and interesting, but also allows our young learners to see themselves in the math.

To help students grow their domain-specific and academic vocabulary, Amplify Desmos Math California provides embedded vocabulary routines, such as prompting teachers to use a Frayer Model. These routines allow students to make connections to new language and offer repeated opportunities to develop and refine language.

Amplify Desmos Math California recognizes the diverse language needs of our students and is designed to be inclusive. Each lesson in the program features a parallel language activity, designed to be available to all students, in the form of teacher guidance and student activities. The activities in the Math Language Development Resource has leveled ELD (Emerging, Expanding, Bridging) differentiation to support all levels of Multilingual and English Learners. This approach ensures that all students, regardless of their language skills, can participate fully, grasp the material, and excel in their mathematical journey.

Introducing Amplify Desmos Math

Amplify Desmos Math is a core math curriculum built for kindergarten through grade 5. We developed the program around the idea that a structured approach to problem-based learning builds on students’ curiosity to develop lasting grade-level understandings for all students. Each lesson offers opportunities to develop students’ understanding; connect their ideas; grow their skill fluency; and empower them to ask questions, explore, and make discoveries.

Amplify Desmos Math uses a student-centered approach to instruction, which has been proven to significantly increase math learning. Our mission is for your students to learn math—and to love learning math!

In every lesson, the Amplify Desmos Math curriculum poses engaging and relevant problems to solve, giving students daily opportunities to think critically, work collaboratively, and actively participate in their own learning.

About student-centered math instruction

Student-centered instruction may look different from the way students have learned math in the past, and perhaps from the way you learned math. Instead of memorizing formulas and tricks, student-centered learning focuses on giving students opportunities to figure out how math works. Research shows that students and teachers alike prefer this method, and teachers report that student-centered instruction has helped their students learn more math.

A diverse group of students, one wearing a unicorn headband, looks at a teacher pointing to an amplify math bar graph on a board.

This way of learning helps students:

  • Understand how math concepts work.
  • Remember what they learn in class and apply their knowledge to new situations.
  • Perform better on standardized tests and have more growth in their grades than their peers who learn through other methods.
  • Learn to communicate in writing and verbally, understand and challenge the opinions of others, and build confidence in solving new problems.
  • Develop key skills for success in college and the workplace, like using technology, completing projects independently and with others, and persevering through difficult problems.

What materials do students use?

Amplify Desmos Math supports blended learning with supportive print materials and a unique digital experience. All Amplify Desmos Math K–5 lessons are available in a write-in Student Edition book. Many of the lessons are designed to include hands-on activities with manipulatives. An age-appropriate number of lessons are designed for students to use digital devices like laptops or tablets. These include enhanced digital experiences that teachers can assign to students.

Here’s what you can expect for your students from Amplify Desmos Math:

  • Lessons that drive classroom discussions so students can work toward a shared understanding and sense of community.
  • Responsive feedback that interprets student responses in context and encourages perseverance and revision.
  • Easy-to-follow lesson plans tested in classrooms across the country, with clear teaching suggestions, strategies, and Math Language Routines.
  • Practice problems to support fluency and help students review previous topics.
  • Recommended differentiation suggestions for teachers so that they can meet the needs of diverse learners.
  • Formative assessments that provide information on student understanding so that they can adjust their instruction to meet the needs of all students in their class.
  • Summative assessments that help teachers understand what students know about the math content they have been learning.
  • Daily lesson-level assessments so that teachers can frequently check for understanding.
  • A caregiver resource for each unit that includes explanations of key math concepts and problems to try with your student.

When students use devices, teachers can monitor students’ work in real time, making sure they get the exact support that they need at every part of the lesson, in and outside of class. Here is a sample of what a teacher sees on their dashboard to help them monitor thinking and support student learning.

Students are also able to access their digital work at home. Here’s an article on how to navigate the student home page.

What does a lesson look like?

Students in an Amplify Desmos Math classroom can be seen (and heard!)—asking questions, debating answers, justifying their thinking, grappling with problems, and working together and independently.

Two students, one male and one female, are sitting at a desk with a laptop, discussing a project under a "math club" sign, with speech bubble icons above them.

Here’s what a typical Amplify Desmos Math lesson includes:

  • Warm-up: A short, attention-getting problem to get students interested in the lesson.
  • Activities: 1-2 mini-activities that challenge students’ problem-solving skills.
  • Synthesis: Discussion to review and bring together the important concepts from the lesson.
  • Show What You Know and Reflection: Questions for students to show what they know from the lesson. (Note: The “Show What You Know” lesson assessment is optional for the teacher to assign in kindergarten and grade 1)
  • Centers: Student-led activity stations that reinforce the math learned during lesson activities through interactive and often game-like formats. In kindergarten and grade 1, time for Centers is built into the last 15 minutes of every lesson.

Here’s what is available after the lesson to support, strengthen, and stretch students’ learning:

  • Differentiation: Mini-lessons, Centers, extensions, personalized learning, and fluency practice.
  • Practice: Additional problems your student’s teacher may assign for classwork or homework.

Your student’s teacher may assign practice problems at the end of each lesson for classwork or homework. If your student has already completed the practice problems for the lesson, ask your student to walk you through how they solved each problem, or talk about any parts that were challenging for them. Ask your students follow-up questions to encourage the use of math language as they explain their thinking, such as: “How do you know?,” “How can you show your thinking?,” or “How would you describe that?” If students are stuck, ask support questions such as, “What information do you know here?” or “How could you represent this problem?”

Getting stuck is okay!

Emphasize that getting stuck is part of the process and a necessary part of learning. Many students (and adults!) fear making mistakes. However, research shows that making mistakes helps your brain grow more. When your student gets stuck on a problem, encourage them to try different strategies, even if they are not sure if they are right.

Find the math in everyday life.

Relate math to daily activities at home, whether grocery shopping, preparing a meal, or planning for a trip to the store. Your student can help you figure out how many more apples there are than oranges in the grocery cart, show how to split a sandwich into fourths, or figure out how much change you’ll receive in exchange for a ten dollar bill. Encourage your student to point out ways that you use math in daily tasks.

Read the Unit Story with your student.

Each unit in Amplify Desmos Math K–5 begins with a read-aloud story to engage students and provide context for the math of the unit. Elements and characters from the Unit Story then appear in lessons throughout the rest of the unit.

Sobre la enseñanza de las matemáticas centrada en el estudiante

La enseñanza centrada en el estudiante puede parecer distinta a las formas de aprender matemáticas del pasado y a la manera en que usted aprendió matemáticas. En lugar de memorizar fórmulas y trucos, el aprendizaje centrado en el estudiante se enfoca en ofrecer oportunidades para descubrir cómo funcionan las matemáticas. Las investigaciones revelan que tanto estudiantes como maestros prefieren este método, además de que los maestros informan que la enseñanza centrada en el estudiante ha ayudado a los suyos a aprender más matemáticas.

Esta forma de aprendizaje ayuda a los estudiantes a:

  • Comprender cómo funcionan los conceptos matemáticos.
  • Recordar lo que aprenden en clase y aplicar sus conocimientos a situaciones nuevas.
  • Obtener mejores resultados en exámenes estandarizados y tener mejores calificaciones que los estudiantes que aprenden con otros métodos.
  • Aprender a comunicarse tanto por escrito como verbalmente, comprender y replicar las opiniones de los demás y adquirir confianza para resolver nuevos problemas.
  • Desarrollar habilidades clave para la vida, por ejemplo, aprovechar la tecnología, completar proyectos de forma individual y en grupo y perseverar ante problemas difíciles.

¿Qué materiales utilizan los estudiantes?

Amplify Desmos Math promueve el aprendizaje por medio de materiales impresos de apoyo combinados con experiencias digitales singulares. Todas las lecciones de Amplify Desmos Math K-5 están disponibles en un libro de Edición del estudiante que usan para escribir. Muchas de las lecciones están diseñadas para incluir actividades prácticas que incorporan materiales manipulables, y una cierta cantidad de lecciones se diseñó para que los estudiantes usen dispositivos digitales como computadoras portátiles o tabletas, en función de sus edades. Dichas lecciones incluyen experiencias digitales enriquecidas que se recomienda que los maestros asignen a sus estudiantes.

  • Feedback receptivo que interpreta las respuestas de los estudiantes en el contexto apropiado y fomenta la perseverancia y la rectificación.
  • Planes de clase fáciles de seguir, probados en aulas de todo el país, con sugerencias y estrategias didácticas claras y rutinas de lenguaje matemático.
  • Problemas de práctica para lograr dominio y ayudar a los estudiantes a repasar temas anteriores.
  • Sugerencias de diferenciación para que los maestros puedan cubrir las necesidades de estudiantes diversos.
  • Evaluaciones formativas que proporcionan información sobre la comprensión de cada estudiante y permiten hacer ajustes a la enseñanza para atender las necesidades de toda la clase.
  • Evaluaciones sumativas que ayudan a los maestros a comprender qué saben los estudiantes sobre los contenidos matemáticos que han estudiado. 
  • Evaluaciones diarias en cada lección, con las cuales los maestros pueden verificar constantemente la comprensión. Un recurso para cuidadores en cada unidad, el cual incluye explicaciones de conceptos matemáticos clave y problemas para resolver con el estudiante.

Cuando los estudiantes utilizan dispositivos, los maestros pueden supervisar su trabajo en tiempo real para asegurarse de que cuentan con el apoyo que necesitan en cada sección de la lección, tanto dentro como fuera del aula. Aquí le presentamos un ejemplo de lo que un maestro ve en su panel de control para ayudarle a supervisar los razonamientos y estimular el aprendizaje de los estudiantes.

A classroom dashboard displays student names and their progress in activities, with checkmarks indicating completed tasks and circles showing ongoing or incomplete tasks.

Los estudiantes también pueden acceder a su trabajo digital en casa. He aquí un artículo sobre cómo navegar por la página de inicio para estudiantes.

¿Cómo es una lección?

En una clase de Amplify Desmos Math, se puede ver (¡y oír!) a los estudiantes al hacer preguntas, debatir respuestas, justificar sus razonamientos, resolver problemas y trabajar juntos o de forma individual.

Two students, one male and one female, are sitting at a desk with a laptop, discussing a project under a "math club" sign, with speech bubble icons above them.

Esto es lo que normalmente incluye una lección de Amplify Desmos Math:

  • Calentamiento: Un problema breve e interesante para que los estudiantes se sientan atraídos por la lección.
  • Actividades: Una o dos actividades cortas que desafían las habilidades de los estudiantes para resolver problemas.
  • Síntesis: Un debate que repasa y reúne los conceptos importantes de la lección.
  • Demuestra lo que sabes y Reflexión: Preguntas para que los estudiantes demuestren lo que aprendieron en la lección. (Nota: La evaluación “Demuestra lo que sabes” se imparte a criterio del maestro en kindergarten y 1.er grado).
  • Centros: Estaciones de actividades dirigidas por los estudiantes, las cuales refuerzan los conceptos matemáticos que se aprendieron durante las actividades de la lección a través de formatos interactivos, usualmente similares a juegos. En kindergarten y 1.er grado, el tiempo destinado a los Centros se incorpora a los últimos 15 minutos de cada lección. 

Este es el material disponible al término de la lección para apoyar, consolidar y ampliar el aprendizaje de los estudiantes:

  • Diferenciación: Minilecciones, Centros, actividades complementarias, aprendizaje personalizado y práctica de dominio. 
  • Práctica: Problemas adicionales que el maestro puede asignar como trabajo en clase o tareas para casa.

¿Cómo pueden los cuidadores incentivar el aprendizaje de las matemáticas en casa?

Utilice nuestros Recursos de apoyo de la unidad para cuidadores

Hemos agregado un recurso para cuidadores a cada unidad del programa, el cual proporciona un resumen de los conceptos clave, junto con un problema extraído del conjunto de ejercicios de práctica de la lección para que lo resuelva junto con el estudiante. 

En cada uno de los enlaces de los grados académicos a continuación, encontrará un documento con los recursos para cuidadores correspondientes a cada unidad, tanto en inglés como en español.

Repasen juntos los problemas de práctica

El maestro puede asignar problemas de práctica al final de cada lección, como trabajo en clase o como tarea. Si el estudiante ya ha completado los problemas de práctica de la lección, pídale que le explique cómo resolvió cada problema o que le hable sobre las partes que le resultaron más difíciles. 

Haga preguntas de seguimiento al estudiante para fomentar el uso del vocabulario matemático al explicar sus razonamientos, por ejemplo, “¿cómo lo sabes?”, “¿cómo puedes mostrar tu razonamiento?” o “¿cómo describirías eso?”. 

Si el estudiante no consigue avanzar, hágale preguntas de apoyo, por ejemplo, “¿qué información de aquí conoces?” o “¿cómo podrías representar este problema?”.

Recuerde que es válido bloquearse

Haga hincapié en que bloquearse forma parte del proceso de aprendizaje e incluso es fundamental. Muchos estudiantes (¡al igual que adultos!) temen equivocarse. Sin embargo, las investigaciones demuestran que cometer errores ayuda a que el cerebro se desarrolle mejor. Cuando el estudiante no logre avanzar en un problema, anímelo a probar distintas estrategias, aunque no tenga certeza de si son correctas.

Descubran las matemáticas en la vida cotidiana

Relacionen las matemáticas con las actividades cotidianas del hogar, ya sea al ir de compras, preparar una comida o planificar una visita a una tienda. El estudiante puede ayudarle a calcular cuántas manzanas más que naranjas hay en el carrito; puede mostrarle cómo dividir un sándwich en cuartos o calcular cuánto cambio recibirán de un billete de diez dólares. Anime al estudiante a mencionar de qué forma la familia utiliza las matemáticas en sus tareas diarias.

Lea el Cuento de la unidad con el estudiante

Cada unidad de Amplify Desmos Math K–5 comienza con un cuento leído en voz alta que captura el interés de los estudiantes y contextualiza los conceptos matemáticos de la unidad. Los elementos y personajes del Cuento de la unidad aparecen en las lecciones de toda la unidad.

Support math learning at home.

You can support your student’s math learning outside of school in many ways:

Relate math to daily activities at home, whether you’re baking, grocery shopping, or planning a trip. Your student can help you calculate the prices when you use a coupon, figure out how to cut a recipe in half, or determine the amount of gas you’ll need to make it to your destination.

Invite your student to walk you through how they solved each problem or talk about any parts that were challenging for them. To encourage the use of math language, consider asking, “How do you know?,” “How can you show your thinking?,” or “How would you describe that?” If students get stuck, consider asking questions like, “What information do you know here?” or “How could you represent this problem?”

Emphasize that getting stuck is part of the process and a necessary part of learning. Many students (and adults!) fear making mistakes, but research shows that making mistakes helps your brain grow. When your student gets stuck on a problem, encourage them to try different strategies, even if they think they can’t do it or will get it wrong.

We hope your student enjoys exploring math, working with friends to solve problems, and learning new and interesting concepts. And we hope you enjoy this exciting math journey with them!
