Strategic Math:
a great class to have!
Our class is goal based and designed to meet the needs of the learner. We will be working as a whole class, small groups and individuals. Each learner varies in their mathematical knowledge, but all students should plan on making significant academic gains in their areas of need.
Each student has individual goals that we are working on. Students will enter my class and have an engaging activity to get their brains firing. Our class will be working on individual standards as needed. Students are also encouraged to ask questions and get support on any mathematical areas of need.
Above all else, think positive! Math growth can and will come! Just keep working hard! I believe in you!
Standards Practice
Students are encouraged to practice math every day. Even 15 minutes per day can make a difference. Each student will have individual goals listed on their agenda. Please plan to work on these goals to best support your learner.
Parent/Guardian Support
In order to achieve the goals, support from home is instrumental. Working on concepts with the following structure will usually have the best results;
- first use real items to solve problemsdocs.google.com/document/d/1fNE0F0vckCiQ5ZptDpRXH9t-eGyfPgP6jcvNMk6ewfg/edit?usp=sharing
- second draw pictures to help solve problems
- lastly write equations with numbers to solve problems.
Brain research tells us to try to incorporate movement with the learning. It can greatly increase information remembered. This means that throwing and catching a ball while memorizing improves learning! Have a ball!
