Our School Learning Goal

Each year, we select an area of growth for our school. This year we have continued our focus on math, with an emphasis on students developing their ability to use mental math strategies to solve number problems and calculations. The goal is to develop flexibility and fluency. We are also continuing the effective use of assessment for learning as an additional goal. Recognizing that effective self-assessment skills have a direct correlation to student achievement is what compelled us to embed this in our goal.

As a teaching strategy to support student learning around mental math is the use of number talks. Please see the following links:
