MathWings MathWings is a constructivist approach to mathematics for grades one through five. Cooperative learning is used at all levels to provide opportunities for students to develop their understanding of concepts by explaining them to each other in heterogeneous problem-solving groups and to enable feedback among students in teams. At the intermediate grade levels, Power Math allows students to work at their own pace on individualized units to reinforce learning in specific areas or to accelerate students into new areas. WorldLab WorldLab is an integrated curriculum for social studies and science, grades one through five. In WorldLab, students work in small groups to engage in simulations and group investigations.
Students take on roles as people in history, in various countries, or in various occupations.
For example, they may experience, as early Americans, the conflicts that led to the writing of the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution. This is the vehicle that drives all Roots and Wings curricula. Students work together in partnerships and teams, helping one another to become strategic problem-solvers. Emphasis is placed on individual accountability, common goals, and recognition of team success. Facilitators A full-time facilitator works with teachers in each Roots and Wings school to help them implement the reading program.
