This class is designed to help students who have not found success with math develop a comfort level with the subject. As they build their confidence in performing basic mathematical functions, their ability to increase their knowledge base will naturally develop. The room is presently equipped with three computers and two printers. A problem involving the mathematical function that we are concentrating on is posted at the front of the class. Often a mathematical term and definition will also be posted on the board.
Students receive an in-class assignment which is due at the end of the class block.
Students are encouraged to work cooperatively. Mrs. Hibbert also exclusively reserves this time to work with individual students. Homework is assigned. To prepare for upcoming mathematical topics, a hands-on activity or game is planned. Use of calculators and computers for spreadsheets and graphs.
