CINCH Mathematics for Teachers

CINCH Mathematics offers teachers the long-sought, true potential of technology to enhance their teaching experience, with remarkable power to engage and instruct.

Everything is online for the teacher's convenience, accessible from any computer, saving them enormous time and effort:

• extensive and flexible teaching resources
• built-in teaching support and professional development
• individualized instruction for on-target teaching

Curriculum Planning

Curriculum planning meets the needs of all teachers, experienced to new.

CINCH Mathematics offers complete curricula correlated to state standards. Teachers, grade level teams, and curriculum specialists can choose among preplanned scope and sequences or re-sequence topics and lessons to suit the learning needs of each class and their own teaching preferences.

With a click of a mouse, teachers can plan by day, by week, by month, and for the entire year.

The lessons for every grade are available to each teacher. This unique feature of CINCH Mathematics lets teachers choose to review or reteach earlier material, and enrich and advance their class as they need.

Preparing to Teach

Teachers can easily organize lessons. Everything they need is within reach online. From any computer, they can customize as little or as much of each lesson as they wish:

• select lesson topics
• find slides to build their whiteboard presentations
• choose animated tools that help teach math concepts
• check for pre-requisite or extension materials with an automatic correlation tool
• access helpful tips for whiteboard teaching and embedded professional development videos.

They can select student pages to assign online or print and distribute and assign interactive games that reinforce concepts and build skills

The Teaching Experience

Teachers enjoy strong student participation with CINCH Mathematics' dynamic whiteboard format. The visual material and interactivity keep students engaged and help reach all learners in the class. With student response systems, learning accelerates as all students participate and receive immediate feedback. As the class responds, teachers can adjust their teaching on the fly.

The program provides teaching tips to print out or access with a handheld device during class to guide the teacher through every lesson.

Differentiating Instruction

Because CINCH Mathematics is digital, teachers can use the power of the computer to make individualized instruction a reality, rather than a prohibitively labor-intensive and time-consuming goal.

Built-in assessment assists teachers in choosing the right instruction for their students. Using the extensive assessment library, teachers can create or assign pre-made tests to gauge student and class progress.

CINCH Mathematics scores all digitally completed tests and automatically assigns resources to target individual student needs. At all times, teachers have the option to select worksheets and activities on a student-by-student basis.

Preparing for Standardized Testing

Teachers can view math strands throughout the year with an interactive tool that displays the selected scope and sequence on color-coded monthly and yearly calendars.

Integrated, ongoing assessment also makes it easier for teachers to prepare their students for standardized testing. They can easily see how their students and classes are performing, and target instruction where it's needed most.
