How do you unlock learning for students who struggle with mathematics?
MATH180® is an intervention program for struggling students in grades 6 and up. I was the design lead for instruction, interactive tools, and digital environments.
My role:
- managed cross-platform components from ideation to introduction
- collaborated with interdisciplinary development teams, using Agile and Scrum methodologies
- established and maintained graphic standards and brand guidelines
- ensured user experience continuity across student and teacher components
- defined and implemented design specifications
- met instructional goals and marketing objectives
Website
Family Portal
The Family Portal website is the school-to-home connection for parents of MATH180 students.
I designed the site, which explains the student classroom experience and offers guidance and strategies that families can use to build their child’s confidence and competence in math.
Assessment Software
Problem Authoring
mSkills is the assessment tool of MATH 180 that teachers use to evaluate student learning.
Collaborating with editors and engineers to build a proprietary online Problem Authoring Tool (PAT), we streamlined the workflow used to create hundred of digital math problems.
I created templates that facilitated production by organizing math content by problem type.
Whiteboard Instruction
Interactive Tools
Interactive math tools (called mTools) for whiteboard instruction were created for and embedded into MATH180 software and group instruction. Teachers use these visual models to help students make sense of the math being taught and to help build conceptual understanding.
I managed the development and production of thousands of pieces of technical art shared between whiteboard, website, and print components.
I created comprehensive style guides for all visual models that enabled multiple designers to simultaneously create technical art to consistent specifications.
Lesson Planning
Teaching Guide
MATH180 provides teachers with daily step-by-step instruction to develop understanding through discussion and problem solving.
I designed hundreds of pages of cross-platform content shared between website, whiteboard, and print components.
Student Workbook
mSpace
I was the art director and lead designer of the mSpace, a student workbook designed to motivate students and promote active participation during teacher-facilitated instruction.
Each block of instruction begins with college and career contexts.
Each day of instruction begins with a warm-up Do Now activity to encourage thinking and make connections to prior topics.
The modular system I designed allows for group and individualized instruction within each Lesson.
An end-of-lesson Exit Ticket activity allows teachers to assess student learning in real time.
The back of the workbook contains a Resource Guide with helpful information that students can reference as they solve problems within the lessons.
