As the school year begins again, I'd like to revisit a few foundational posts to describe the Math In Focus classroom. This year, both our students and our teachers have more experience working with these more rigorous standards and materials. I have already heard comments about how the students are more prepared than they were last year at this same time. Thanks to the hard work of both teachers and students, we are absolutely transitioning to the new standards!
This year, we continue to learn more about the standards and instructional strategies. Our district inservice day focused on the Standards for Mathematical Practice. We will spend some time talking about those in upcoming blog entries.
In the meantime, enjoy reading more about how math looks as we go into year two.
WHAT WILL MATH LOOK LIKE IN THE CLASSROOM?
