About Us
Through our years of work with early elementary-age students we recognized that certain critical elements were missing from even the best of the standard curriculum offerings; thus the seeds of Spots for M.A.T.H. took root.
The system we developed, with our patented Dot Cards, provides visual representations of numbers and operations, to break through their inherently abstract nature and make these constructs approachable for the younger student. The program’s predictability enables students to continually add layers of meaning to their knowledge base as they make connections from strand to strand in mathematics.

Spots for M.A.T.H has taken first-grade math to a new level by giving us the framework and the tools to change the way we teach math. Whereas in the past, numbers were hypothetical concepts to our students, the innovative Dot Cards and daily review have turned the abstract to concrete, enabling all types of learners to flourish. We thank the Spots for M.A.T.H development team for their incredible support as our students embark on their journey to real math knowledge.
