Digital Cohort Membership

The Suite, your new 2026 Version 2 Kit, and a library of professional learning, on your schedule.

A full year of Math Empowered on your own schedule. The eight-tool Suite puts the routines in your hands, your new 2026 Version 2 Kit gives you a Math Talk and a DARE for every day of the year alongside Sorts, Tasks, and Proof Games, all sequenced to your approved curriculum, and the Professional Learning Library gives you the reasoning behind each routine. It stands on its own because the Coherence Hub carries its own professional learning inside it.

Who this is for

  • Teachers starting on their own

    Everything you need to run the routines, without a live schedule to keep.

  • Teams piloting the approach

    A low-lift way for a grade-level team to try the routines together before a Full Cohort year.

  • Alumni who want the tools

    Keep the Suite, the kit, and the library current for another year.

What's inside your Instructional Approach Kit

Your grade-level or course kit is a full year of daily instruction, not a folder of sample activities. A Math Talk for every day of the school year. A DARE-ing Application Problem for every day of the school year. Partner Sorts, Thinking Pathway Tasks, and Proof Games throughout. Every piece is sequenced to the scope and sequence of the curriculum your district has already adopted, and daily presentation slides arrive ready to project, so the routine starts when class starts.

That is the part worth sitting with. Teachers do not build the Core Four on top of their curriculum in stolen prep periods. They open the kit, and the routines are already there, in order, matched to the lesson they were going to teach anyway.

The approach

Built on the Core Four

  • The Core Four, daily

    Math Talks, Partner Sorts, DARE-ing Application Problems, and Thinking Pathway Tasks and Proof Games, used as everyday routines rather than special occasions.

  • Teacher-Start to Student-Start

    Shift the thinking to students: they notice, try, defend, and revise, while you facilitate the conversation that follows.

  • Embedded differentiation

    Open grade-level access with representations and entry points already built into the task, so more students can join the same mathematics.

  • Intervention in the moment

    Read student thinking as it happens and respond during the lesson, instead of waiting for the next unit or the next assessment.

One Grade 2 class's NWEA MAP Growth math averages: fall, winter, spring.

This class began the year at 174, level with the national fall average for Grade 2. NWEA's 2025 norms put typical fall-to-spring growth for a Grade 2 class at 14 points. This class gained 27, and finished above the national spring average for the end of Grade 3. One classroom is not a controlled study and we present it as one classroom. What the numbers show is what the teacher described: students who could talk about their thinking and carry it from one day to the next.

National figures from the NWEA 2025 MAP Growth Norms, mathematics school growth and achievement norms, Grade 2.

It is valuable information and you learn many new strategies to implement.
