MATH IS FUNDAMENTAL
Our math program provides opportunity for students to improve math proficiency by learning essential
foundation concepts and processing skills that must be applied for academic success. Math has strict application
rules that students must know and use in order to derive correct
math solutions This is true regardless of
comprehensive level of math
curriculum.
We find that students
who struggle in math have difficulty applying math concepts. Rather than have an
understanding of concepts,
students try to hold in memory computation processing skills to
solve math problems.
However, by fifth grade, performing math from memorized processing procedures is not sufficient for math
success. Students must know concepts
to move beyond a basic
understanding of math.
In order to provide instruction for students experiencing math fatigue,
we ask two questions:
(1)What are you
doing? and (2)What should you be doing
to achieve math success?
By identifying and teaching concepts and logic skills
and incorporating them into grade level performance
expectations, students can
achieve math success.
Our
program focus in math is twofold. First, students must have opportunity to learn weak foundation skills.
Second, students must have opportunity to integrate
appropriate concepts and processing skills into their current
curriculum to achieve academic success.
We look forward to discussing with you academic services to meet your
academic expectations.
