What makes ORIGO different?
Research shows that Spaced Learning helps students learn faster and retain more information. Students who practice skills multiple times over a carefully architected, spaced period of time feel more powerful in their math knowledge, and are able to tackle new concepts confidently. Learn more Using multiple representations in math allows students to understand problems by using different forms such as visual models, graphs, symbols, and real-world contexts. This approach promotes flexible thinking and accommodates diverse learning styles – making it easier for students to apply their knowledge to new content.

I think the beauty of the ORIGO Stepping Stones program is that it allows time for kids to explore and think about the math before a teacher tells them, “this is what you are supposed to be learning.
The ORIGO Stepping Stones program provided us with common language. So, when we were talking at team meetings, we all had the same language and that commonality really strengthened our professional learning communities as well.
The ORIGO Stepping Stones program coupled with the on-site professional development ORIGO provided led to a deep shift in our instruction of mathematics.

Worcester County Schools
“We wanted our students, all students — special ed students, general education students, everybody — to learn math at high levels with conceptual understanding. And we wanted to increase student engagement and discourse,” said Kirsten Danisavich, Coordinator of Instruction for Mathematics. “When we completed analyzing and thinking about what our new learning solution should be, we realized that Stepping Stones from ORIGO Education was in full alignment with where we wanted to go.
Using Stepping Stones in all our elementary schools at all levels from Pre-K through 6th grade ensures that all our students have the same opportunity to learn. Our vision was to implement a program that increased high-level mathematics understanding and helped students and teachers love math. It has put all our campuses on the same playing field, so that all students have the same opportunity to learn. It is so exciting to see our vision become a reality.”

Magnolia Independent School District
Stepping Stones was implemented district-wide in Magnolia Independent School District beginning in the 2014-2015 school year, and the results are strong among all populations, including general education, special education, and other vulnerable subgroups.
Following an analysis of student performance, Magnolia found that “the most important indicator of success is an openness to change, fidelity to the program, and a culture shift that has teachers and students alike excited about math.”
“A core curriculum that underscores the importance of conceptual understanding of math requires more than just a new book. Teachers need rich tools like those offered in Stepping Stones to break out of the past methods. They need ongoing professional development and support to ensure fidelity across classrooms, campuses, and districts. Fidelity to the teaching model will help all students, regardless of mathematical preparation or English language mastery, be better prepared for annual state assessments and ongoing progress in mathematics.”
