Ignited Math is based on the Ontario Math Curriculum 2020. Teaching strategies and best practices used are those outlined within the curriculum and the Ontario guides to effective instruction. While many other provinces may have similar curriculum standards/expectations we have not yet done a correlation between provinces or with US based common core or state standards. Teachers outside of Ontario should review their curriculum to check for correlation. 

For Reference: 

• All Canadian English Spelling and Number Formatting are used
• Metric Measurement is used
• Canadian money is used. 

Ignited Math is a spiralled math program. 

This means each unit contains lessons and activities from multiple strands.  

Each unit is organized into 5 weeks.  Generally one expectation or group of expectations from within the same strand is covered within each week.  This does allow teachers to rearrange the learning to fit their own classroom needs.  There is no obligation to follow the scope and sequence we have outlines however we do recommend that you do. 

Across the whole program we have included 30 weeks of learning.  This is less than a typical school year.  This is intentional and give teachers some flexibility to spend more time on concepts your students need support with. 

What about the Scope and Sequence from your school Board or the Province? 

This is a complicated question.  There are multiple scope and sequence plans provided by the Ministry of Ontario.  The first is organized by topic/Big Idea and the second is organized by strand.  These were consulted with and influenced the scope and sequence of Ignited Math.  However we also used our professional judgement and years of experience to know what skills are best introduced when.  As for individual schol boards scopes and sequences.  These are individualized and specific to each school board.  Since Ignited Math is designed for all teachers in Ontario in grades 3-6 the needs of individual school boards, principals or grade teams has not influenced our plans. 

If you have individual or specific requirements you are encouraged to mix up the weeks and arrange them in a way that meets your individual requirements.  

Ignited Math is organized by grade level.  The content of a single grade unit is meant to cover the curriculum of the grade level indicated. 

• All learning activities within this grade level are based on skills being taught within the grade assigned.  
• It is assumed that skills taught in previous grades are known and can be built upon.  For example grade 6 students focus on division of decimals.  It is assumed that they have been taught their basic multiplication facts and division strategies from the grade 4 and 5 curriculum levels. 

In each week, the guided math portion has four different leveled activities to support teachers in reteaching, reviewing, supporting and extending learning for students.  While this support is provided it is important to note that it will NOT be sufficient to cover students working two grade levels behind. 

So how will you support your students working below grade level? 

When building this program we intentionally build each grade level week together.  This allows each grade level of  Ignited Math to work together and support each other.  

We suggest that you use the grade level program that reflects the grade level needs of your students.  

For this reason, we offer discounts for those that want to purchase a second grade level. 

Ignited Math is designed for students working at a grade 3-6 level.  

We do not recommend that teachers use this program outside of this grade range.  

If a teacher chooses to use Ignited Math for students working beyond or below the grade levels it is designed for.  Teachers using this for grades it wasn’t intended for,  do so knowing that their use requires a significant amount of work to adapt the program to fit their needs.  This is a choice these teachers make individually and Madly Learning does not offer refunds for digital products once the product is downloaded or the resource is accessed on the learning platform (regardless of download status) 

No

Madly Learning does not create resources for French speaking classrooms.  We are unable to maintain the resources to our high quality standard in a language we do not speak.  

We do not recommend those teaching in French use any Madly Learning product.  

All teachers, who decided to do this, do so at their own risk.  You understand that doing so involves a tremendous amount of individual work to adapt this to their classroom.  

For teachers that are teaching two grades in one room we suggest buying your first package at full price and your second package at a discount.  

All four levels were build together so that the learning in one grade level matches the learning from another grade level.  

All Madly Learning products are digital downloads or accessed through a learning management software.  Unlike books, or other hard goods digital products cannot be returned.

ALL SALES ARE FINAL AND OUR REFUND POLICY IS NON-NEGOTIABLE

All Madly Learning products are for a single teacher/single classroom use.  

This means that each teacher will need their own license.  

Please see the following conditions to better understand how licenses work.  

• Two full time teachers with their own classrooms  = two licenses
• Two part time teachers sharing the FTE of a single classroom = one license
• One full time teacher (1.0 FTE) teaching in multiple classrooms (prep coverage) = one license
• Grade or Division team all using the resource for multiple classrooms – needs one license per full time classroom position. In this case you should consider a school purchase order. 

Once your payment is complete you will have lifetime access to the core program including all future revisions.

Your access to the core program does not include any additional bonuses or extension packs that we’re not included in your original purchase and may be offered in the future.

In addition your purchase of the core program does not grant you access to monthly coaching or professional development support beyond technical support questions or the getting started materials provided within the course.  

If you require additional support beyond the materials provided we recommend that you participate in the paid professional develop coaching provided by Patti the founder and CEO of Madly Learning.  

We know that there are so many classrooms in Ontario that have multiple grades within the classroom.  

Even though we sell each package as a single grade package that doesn’t mean that we have forgotten about our split grade teacher friends.  

Ignited Math was built together.  This means that each grade level package from grades 3-6 all follows the same learning pathway the entire year long.  This means that those teaching a split grade could seamlessly  us the content of two single grade packages together.  Many of the activities  

The only difference is that you would combine the lessons to teach the contents together.  Allowing you to choose the lesson from grade A or grade B.
