 Fast La
 ne\, process\, resources are available for Heart of Georgia RESA systems' 
 math teachers.
 Math in the Fast Lane is different.
 A touch-screen inst
 ructional math resource for every 3-8 classroom\, teachers select tasks th
 at are as engaging as they are rigorous. Organized by math concepts\, Mat
 h in the Fast Lane is a research-based instructional framework that build
 s success in ALL students. Within the MFL framework\, teachers utilize res
 ources to build dynamic\, 100% engagement lessons.
  
 Looking for a gr
 eat way to start a lesson? Just click or touch. A formative assessment to 
 see what students know minute-by-minute? Touch here. A hands-on vocabulary
  sort? Print\, cut\, and bag for 100% student engagement. Some math gaps? 
 There’s an entire section built to help students with gaps from the past
 .
 Components of the Math in the Fast Lane Instructional Framework:
 
 
 
 
 Scaffolding in the context of new learning. We don’t believe in t
 eaching in reverse. Instead\, the focus is on grasping NEW concepts. Gaps 
 in prerequisite skills are addressed via devices that enable students to m
 ove forward. (Hey\, we’ve all got gaps!)
 Success Starters that get ev
 ery student off on the right track. No passive warm-ups here! Our lessons 
 are designed to get students thinking and engaged the moment the lesson be
 gins. Our strategies signal to learners that a) This is important and b) I
  can do it!
 Minute-by-Minute Formative Assessments: Math in the Fast La
 ne utilizes strategies that allow teachers to SEE what students know. Imme
 diate feedback moves learning\, so we incorporate safe ways for students t
 o share work so that together\, learning goals are mastered.
 Student Wor
 k Period: No tedious worksheets here! Students practice using highly visi
 ble techniques such as bow-ties\, cubes\, and menus.
 Explicit Vocabulary
 : Mirroring vocabulary research\, students utilize pictures\, games\, sor
 ts\, and other techniques that provide multiple exposures over time. In ad
 dition\, TIP’s are provided for each concept.
 Explicit Learning Goals:
  Essential Questions are not enough! We utilize Standards Walls that demo
 nstrate the connectivity between concepts.
 Acceleration: We know that s
 tudents learn more effectively with some prior knowledge. In acceleration\
 , teachers tactically provide prior knowledge to students with gaps in mat
 h BEFORE they learn the concept in their core class. At a click of a butto
 n\, a plethora of resources are available for this critical work. Rather t
 han stay behind\, students move ahead.
 
 Technology Needed:
 Math in t
 he Fast Lane is touch screen\, which makes it perfect for smart-type board
 s. In addition\, teachers have multiple log-ins\, so that students can tap
  on along with their teachers\, thus reducing the need for copying. Having
  said that\, the resource works wonderfully in classrooms without smart-ty
 pe boards. Teachers just click on their computers as they teach and images
  project.
