The following is a partial list of what our educational team has done to meet that objective since spring 1999. I designed a scope and sequence as well as a resource binder filled with algebra instructional activities. All algebra middle and high school teachers use these materials. As they work with the materials, they revise and update to make the resources more beneficial for students. Our high school teams revamped the courses so their content would be compatible with state standards.
Teachers use various programs to build student confidence and proficiency in math.
Math program developed by Patsy Kanter. Middle school students and teachers piloted the Riverdeep math software program, which was such an overwhelming success that it is now used during the regular school year. These enrichment seminars provided hands-on activities integrating mathematics, science and technology as well as other subjects. For the first time, the district provided this summer academy for about 125 students needing a boost in their algebra skills. The calendar math is an interactive bulletin board kit that provides much math instruction is a short time frame.
