Research & Success for McGraw-Hill My Math
To develop McGraw-Hill My Math, we worked with world-class researchers, academics, and education practitioners to build a strong authorship team. Together, we designed, developed, and validated instructional models based on current scholarship and research to support effective teaching and learning.
Understanding By Design
McGraw-Hill My Math and Glencoe Math were created by the PreK–8 authorship team using Understanding by Design® an instructional design approach to learning that identifies the desired outcome first and then tailors learning strategies to meet the identified objective.
This framework is the perfect foundation for the Standards, resulting in a curriculum that provides conceptual understanding, key areas of focus and connection to prior concepts and skills.
Jay McTighe, author of Understanding by Design discusses his philosophy.
