Content development

Mathematics education

Nikki M Group writes and develops effective, engaging mathematics content for Australian and international curricula, including:

• Australia (F–12)
• United Kingdom (1–13)
• North America (K–12).

Writing and developing new content

We create new content and work with publishers to:

• create lesson plans and teacher resources to scaffold students’ mathematical understanding, fluency, reasoning and problem-solving skills
• incorporate hands-on manipulatives and interactive tools
• generate preliminary material (front matter), which provides an overview of content and rationale to support both teachers and students
• create end matter, such as an index, appendix or glossary
• add value and depth to manuscripts by collaborating with authors to fulfil all requirements of the brief.

Developing mathematics content that optimises learning outcomes.

Preparing manuscripts

We prepare author manuscripts for editorial and creative teams by:

• formatting text into workable and styled templates
• creating artwork briefs for photographs, illustrations, tables, charts and graphs
• producing blackline masters to suit content and style guides.

Scope and sequence

We can work with a scope and sequence of a series to:

• develop tables linking curriculum standards, codes and descriptors to content in past, current and future grades, or to key stages
• reference all lessons to the scope and sequence, learning outcomes, ‘I can …’ statements and key ideas
• create a ‘gap analysis’ of an existing series that is to be modified for a new curriculum or different jurisdiction.

Modifying existing resources

We repurpose, re-version or restructure existing content to:

• update and enhance existing resources
• customise content for a new curriculum
• adapt content to suit another province, state or country.

Teacher resources

We develop teacher resources, including components for:

• instructional and guided demonstrations of K–12 concepts using multiple learning strategies
• teaching strategies to address misconceptions
• dialogue and questioning for the teacher to scaffold students to higher-order thinking
• investigations, explorations, activities for game-based learning and extension activities
• additional practice questions
• step-by-step worked solutions
• feedback and discussion cues to help teachers.

Teaching methods

We work with author teams to create educational resources that utilise knowledge of the latest and best pedagogical practices.

We have experience with:

• Singapore Math
• Common Core
• Polya’s four-step approach to problem-solving
• Bloom’s taxonomy of learning
• 5e+ Model (engage, explore, explain, elaborate and evaluate)
• Montessori Method
• integrating STEM (science, technology, engineering and mathematics) in inquiry-based learning, mathematical modelling and tool-based pedagogies.
