Math Overview
We will be using a brand new math series called My Math. The McGraw-Hill My Math program provides the rigor, personalization, and student engagement our students need to be successful with the Office of Catholic Schools mathematical benchmarks. Emphasizing mathematical basics, critical thinking and hands-on activities at every grade level will help our students to connect learning to real world problem solving.
How is Math Taught?
Math is taught through a customized approach that addresses the needs of all students in the classroom. Math begins with a focus lesson where the teacher explicitly models a strategy or skill. After the focus lesson, the students investigate independently to practice the strategy.
During independent problem solving, students use the focus skills and strategies to further develop focus lesson skills/strategies through math games, individual investigations, and small-group or 1:1 instruction. Conferring allows the teacher to be sure students are successful in their application of skills/strategies or to provide targeted instruction to support particular needs.
Finally, Math ends with a group share to expose mathematical thinking and guide discussion on "big ideas" and strategies.
