TTM -- The Perfect Individualized Math Tool

How I Use It

In my classroom, students use TTM on a daily basis. My co-teacher and I rotate ten iPads through 25 students. Each day, we use TTM as part of our warmups. One group will get on the iPads to work on TTM while the other two groups work on a paper warmup containing recently learned concepts. Students are also encouraged to sign out iPads during our tutorial period. Many of our students need motivation to consistently work on anything school related. We motivate our students in a number of ways. They include treats and competitions, as well as weekend challenges and the built-in TTM rewards for the classroom goal. Students work toward their goals while either working on skills that they've struggled on or moving forward to skills they have yet to learn. TTM provides practice on grade level skills that need to be mastered, as well as filling in the blanks for skills that need work and enabling higher-achieving students the ability to work past what they are expected to know at grade level.
