Systematic Teaching And Measuring Mathematics (STAMM)

Systematic Teaching And Measuring Mathematics (STAMM). A comprehensive outcome-based mathematics program resulting in high student achievement. Approved by JDRP for students of all abilities, grades K-8.

Description Systematic Teaching And Measuring Mathematics (STAMM) presents an elementary mathematics program that covers the curricula and the means necessary to assist in delivering NCTM's "Standards." Teachers can select from a variety of learning activities to provide for the needs of their students through a variety of concrete manipulatives, practice, problem solving, and enrichment strategies. STAMM provides students with varied opportunities to develop underlying concepts, and can be used in a variety of teaching styles (large group, cooperative grouping, departmentalization, individualized or labs). STAMM's flexible design fits into schools of all sizes and classroom structures. STAMM includes a management system which is organized around carefully designed learner outcomes. Student growth is monitored through postassessment strategies. Specifically, the program is delivered through the following STAMM materials: Teacher Manual (TM) - a resource book of activity-oriented ideas to assist the teacher in delivering the learner outcomes. Student Booklet - a set of student materials from which a teacher selects activities as needed to enhance development and practice of the learner outcomes by the students after they have received initial instruction. Student Assessment Booklet - criterion-referenced assessments to provide information about the student's progress on the learner outcomes utilizing alternative testing strategies.

These STAMM resource materials have been created to complement the existing textbooks, manipulative materials, and teacher-made resources. The Program is a cost effective way to support teachers. The primary program costs about $6 per child the first year and $3.50 maintenance, in contrast to many commercial primary level programs that typically cost $13-$15 per year.
