MTSonline Features for Teachers

Teachers Can:

  • Select any MTSonline Activity
  • From any of the 8 MTS Sets (for 4-13 year olds)
  • To meet any individual, group or class needs.
  • Plus you have the flexibility to customize MTSonline Activities to suit all teaching contexts.

Teacher's Notes for Each Activity Include:
  • The key mathematical outcome (Main Idea) to focus lessons on specific mathematical concepts, knowledge and skills.
  • Focus questions to prompt mathematical thinking.
  • Teaching points and ideas.
  • Links to the your Mathematics Curriculum.
  • Suggestions for follow-up, extension and remedial Activities.
  • Links to interactive websites to support learning inherent in the Activity.
  • Answers!

Teachers Can Save on Paper Usage Using Interactive Whiteboards

  • Select LANDSCAPE mode for viewing the activities.
  • Pages open in our Picture Viewer in landscape mode ready for use with interactive whiteboards.
  • The Teacher's Notes for most activities also contain interactive website URL's. By 'tapping' on these they will open on a connected interactive smart-board.

Teachers Can Create Mini-textbooks
  • See also How To Use My Bookmarks.
  • You can create anything from a mini-book on a topic such as Rounding Whole Numbers to a complete text on mathematics for a specific student, group or class.
  • In My Bookmarks you can arrange the MTSonline Activities in any order you like, download them to your computer, and duplicate and staple the number of copies you need.
  • You can also customize the Activities prior to printing - imagine a student having his/her personalized mini-text with his/her name and photo on each page.

Teachers Can Do Away With:
  • Textbooks! They are no longer needed.
  • The flexibility of task selection across levels of learning puts the teacher, not the text, in the driver's seat.
  • The savings on textbook purchases are enormous for both parents and schools.

Teachers Can Share MTS Activities
  • See also Copyright.
  • Teachers are welcome/encouraged to share any customized MTSonline Activity or mini-text (e.g. Our Fraction Book) with another licensed teacher.
  • Simply download and customize the MTS Activities and email them to your colleague.
  • Copyright information is provided on all original MTSonline activities. This information must never be removed during any editing or customizing of an activity.
