Edge Structured Math

Edge Structured Math is an intensive intervention program designed to build number sense and fluency and change the “I’m bad at math” mindset.

From Frustrated to Fluent

Learning math the traditional way doesn’t work for everyone. Students who struggle with math often feel lost in the lesson and unable to grasp abstract concepts. 

The Edge Structured Math program is different. Students can enjoy and understand math again through sequential and structured lessons that use concrete level connections and multi-sensory, hands-on methods.

Making Numbers Make Sense

For numbers to make sense, students need to utilize concrete materials to help conceptualize the meaning of numbers and quantity. Each Edge lesson allows students to work with objects in sequential order, creating facts and decomposing and composing numbers to strengthen their ability to think flexibly about numbers, thereby increasing their fluency.

Who is Edge for?

2nd-4th grade level math students who:

  • Struggle with number sense and fluency
  • Need a concrete way to connect numbers to their own real-life experiences
  • Need interventions to catch up on math gaps
  • Prefer small group or one-on-one math intervention
