Why your school is using Teach to One Roadmaps
to help your child thrive in math this year!
What is Teach to One Roadmaps?
Teach to One Roadmaps is a personalized math program that helps every student catch up, keep up, and move ahead. Each student follows a personalized journey—a roadmap—that shows the skills they’ve already mastered and the skills they’re ready to learn next. This ensures students work on material that is “just right” for them, building confidence and real progress.
Independent research, using Roadmaps data, found students learned nearly twice as much when instruction was individualized, like the Roadmaps platform.
In Roadmaps, your child will:
- Take a short diagnostic to set their starting point.
- Follow a personalized roadmap of math skills.
- Learn through videos, practice, group activities, and teacher-led lessons.
- Show progress by completing quick “Skill Challenges.”
Why it Matters
Research shows students learn more when instruction matches what they’re ready for:
- TNTP’s Unlocking Algebra report found students learned nearly twice as much when instruction was individualized.
- An independent ACS study showed students who completed 100% of their roadmap were all proficient on their state test.
With Teach to One Roadmaps, more students can achieve lasting success in math.
How Roadmaps Works
- Diagnostic Assessment – Students begin with a short test that identifies their starting point.
- Personalized Roadmap – A clear list of math skills your child is ready to learn.
- Daily Learning – Videos, practice problems, group activities, and teacher-led lessons.
- Skill Challenges – Quick checks that confirm mastery before moving forward.
How Families Can Help at Home
Ask about their roadmap: “What skills did you learn today?”
Check in on progress: Review their skill goals and celebrate milestones.
Encourage persistence: Remind them it’s okay to skip a hard question and keep moving.
Celebrate growth: Each skill mastered builds confidence and momentum.
Impact You Can Trust
- Schools using Teach to One Roadmaps have seen math proficiency gains of 10–30 percentage points.
- Students stay engaged by working on the right skills at the right time.
- Teachers get powerful insights to guide small-group and one-on-one support.
