MATH
"fewer, same, and more"

On Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays students will be in math work stations. Our math work stations are planned to reinforce our daily objectives, build a strong foundation in number sense, and discover number relationships.

On Tuesdays and Thursdays students work in their Math Journals. Our Math Journal work begins with an open ended question that provides an opportunity for students to use multiple strategies for problem solving. Students are then asked to record their work and discuss how they solved the problem. Finally, a few students each week share their problem solving strategies with the class.
