Welcome
On behalf of Pearson Professional Learning, welcome to the First StepsŪ in Mathematics homepage.
When dealing with students' diverse learning needs, classroom teachers and those responsible for developing and implementing school mathematics programs often search for an effective way to link mathematics learning, instruction, and assessment. First Steps in Mathematics is a school-wide Professional Development Model specifically designed to provide this critical link. Developed by the Education Department of Western Australia, this K-8 professional learning resource is the product of an extensive review of all available international research and thousands of student work samples. They validated their findings, which have been subsequently replicated in Canadian schools. First Steps in Mathematics enables teachers to assess students' thinking, monitor their progress, and provide developmentally appropriate teaching strategies and learning activities.
The Canadian edition of First Steps in Mathematics was published in December 2005. Courses have been underway coast to coast. About First Steps in Mathematics in Canada.
