Welcome to Math Lesson Plans - MLP for short!
MLP is a site dedicated to serving 3rd, 4th, and 5th Grade Math Teachers. You spend tons of time and energy on designing lesson plans and preparing materials to support your students. MLP strives to provide you with comprehensive Lesson Plans that will save you from having to plan a lesson again!
The MLP Membership is open to everyone. Membership includes standards based math lessons, math stations, a resource library, and a community of teachers.
All of the Lesson Plans, Math Stations, and Library Resources have been created under the guidance of Veronica Lopez, M. Ed. Veronica is a Curriculum, Instruction, and Assessment Specialist and is a Certified Continuing Education Provider. Veronica is the founder of Tree Top Secret, an educational consulting firm. You can find Tree Top Secret at www.treetopsecret.com.
Tree Top Secret and Veronica have now designed MLP - an exclusive community for math teachers.
Here's a note from Veronica:
Howdy, new Teacher Bud! It's wonderful to meet you!
You are on this page, because you want to make sure this site and the creator of MLP is trustworthy. There are too many places and people out there and it gets overwhelming. I want you to know a little about me so that you know I am a reliable source of information and resources. Chief among my credentials are presenting for Discovery Education and writing for Edutopia and ASCD. Here's a bit more about me:
Along with all the hats every teacher wears on every given day, I have served in various roles over the years. I have been a classroom teacher, principal, instructional facilitator, district coordinator, adult education instructor, and now educational consultant and Director. I have explored the wonders of space and magic of math with Pre-K-5th grade students. I have devoted serious "cramming for the big test" time with high school students. I have helped GED students re-learn the fundamentals of every core subject. I have worked to build community, prepare teacher leaders, and manage campus logistics. I have worked along-side other district leaders in an effort to strategically plan and align curriculum, instruction, and assessment.
I founded an educational website, Tree-Top Secret www.treetopsecret.com, nine years ago. During this time Tree-Top Secret and/or I have hit many amazing milestones...
• Meeting and serving hundreds of teachers from all over this great nation
• Presenting for Discovery Education • Writing for Edutopia and ASCD
• Obtaining Continuing Professional Education Certification from the Texas Education Agency
• Selected as a pilot study contributor for Marilyn Burns & the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation
• Designing the program and obtaining a TX Dept. of Ag. $30,000 grant for a charter district
• Locking down a License Agreement from Pearson Education/Texas Education Agency
Are you still here? Thanks for sticking with me through all of that!
Holler if you have any questions. I'm over at [email protected]
I hope to see you inside the MLP Community!
