An analysis of math data from the Outcome Score Report shows a weakness in problem solving for both third and fifth grades. Both grades continue to have difficulty communicating mathematically.
Students also have a difficult time reasoning.
That is, they are having problems developing theories, gathering evidence, and building arguments. Arithmetic operations are weak, too. There is a need to increase the number of students who score satisfactory and excellent on the Criterion Reference Test. A math resource teacher will provide instruction to students in grades 4 and 5. The Title 1 resource teacher will focus her time in grades 4 and 5 for math.
