The Math Trajectory Method™

Five steps.
One loop.

Every product we create follows the same sequence — from finding where the student is, to proving they've mastered the skill. The loop never stops.

01

Locate

Where is the student on the Map™ right now?

  • Quick diagnostic — 5 to 10 targeted questions
  • Skill-specific, not broad and overwhelming
  • Identifies the exact concept gap, not just "below grade level"
  • Pinpoints the node on the Math Trajectory Map™
→ A clear starting point on the Math Trajectory Map™
02

Target

What is the next right skill on the trajectory?

  • No spiraling randomness — one intentional next step
  • Ordered logically: prerequisite → current → extension
  • Driven by the Map™ dependency graph, not a pacing guide
→ This is where most curriculum fails. We don't.
03

Build

Focused, structured practice for mastery

  • Tight, skill-aligned problems — not 50 random exercises
  • Gradual increase in complexity
  • Procedural fluency + conceptual understanding + visual models
  • Each worksheet is anchored to a specific Map™ node
→ Purposeful repetition that builds real mastery
04

Apply

Can the student transfer the skill to new contexts?

  • Word problems and real-world scenarios
  • Multi-step thinking required
  • Proves the student actually owns the skill — not just recall
→ Transfer = true mastery, not pattern-matching
05

Track

Is the student progressing? What's next?

  • Exit-ticket style — quick and specific
  • Same skill, slightly varied format — checks real understanding
  • Clear "got it / not yet" signal for the teacher
  • Results feed directly into the next Locate step
→ Feeds directly into the next trajectory step
The loop:
Locate → Target → Build → Apply → Track ↩ Repeat
Worksheet types

Four formats. One system.

Every worksheet we publish carries a type code — L, B, A, or T — identifying which step of the Method it supports. Each is anchored to a specific node on the Math Trajectory Map™.

L — Locate

Diagnostic

Targeted pre-assessment to pinpoint exactly where the student's understanding sits on the Map™.

B — Build

Practice

Focused skill-building with a graduated progression from procedural to conceptual understanding.

A — Apply

Transfer

Real-world and multi-step problems that prove the student truly owns the concept.

T — Track

Exit Ticket

A quick, targeted check that signals "got it / not yet" and informs the next instructional move.
