The full courses (The Flexibility Formula PreK-2nd and The Flexibility Formula 3rd-5th) are NOT included in your membership.  However, as a member you do get a special discounted price on courses when registration opens for those courses.

The mini-courses (by Dan Finkel, Mike Flynn, Ann Elise Record, and myself) are included as part of your BMM membership.

The amount of time you spend as a part of the community is up to you. Each week the content that is released may range from taking just 5 minutes to watch on up to 1 hour. You also have access to all the Virtual Math Summit presentations, past webinars, free trainings, and the groups. So, you could spend as much time as you want in the community!  

Inside the BMM PD site, you can mark videos complete which allows us to track the amount of time you spend watching PD videos so that you can receive hours and we will be offering professional development credits through an accredited university each year for those hours.

Absolutely! If you are a math coach or teacher leader and plan to use the content during your PLCs or other collaboration times, you are welcome to show videos during that time.

However, if you want each teacher to be able to watch the trainings on their own time, whenever is convenient to them, AND for them to be able to track their hours and earn PD hours, then each person would need their own login. Your school can take advantage of group pricing to add multiple accounts.

Most schools can’t purchase a monthly membership for you.  However, they may be able to purchase a full year’s access.  Because the email address used in a monthly purchase sets up the account we don’t want your school admin using a school credit card because this will not set the account up correctly. If your school wants to purchase a monthly credit card subscription you must enter your email address during the registration.

If for some reason your school will only do a 3 month or 6 month enrollment, just email us and we can see what we can work up.

The content inside the community spans the grade bands from PreK through 5th grade. Some videos focus on PreK-2nd, while other videos focus on 3rd-5th content, and other videos are general information that spans all the grade levels.

Either way, it is a fundamental belief of mine that we all should learn about content in grades above and below the grades we teach to help us understand where our kids are coming from and where they will be going.

There are times we may shut down enrollment to focus on other areas of the PD we provide.  If you come back and enrollment isn’t open there will be a waitlist you can join.

When you enroll, your membership is locked in at that rate as long as you stay a member. As more content gets added into the site the price of the membership will most likely go up for new members. But, your price will never go up while you are enrolled in the site. 

When you enroll monthly, you will automatically be charged each month for your enrollment once your 10 days is over.  However, you can cancel at anytime.  You are NOT locked in to being a member for any length of time.  If you do need to cancel we just ask that you give us 48 hours before your monthly renewal payment so that we have time to cancel it before your next payment happens.

The free Build Math Minds Facebook group is a place where everyone is sharing ideas and asking questions. I suggest resources to help answer those questions. But, I don’t do any trainings in that group.

So, to me the biggest difference is that in the paid BMM site you get professional development video trainings from me that help you understand the WHY behind the math, the standards, and the activities, not just resources.
