Math in Focus will be the resource.
The goal of Math In Focus is to teach to mastery and to develop abstract understanding.
-We support learning of concrete ideas and help students to understand and apply to abstract situations. We start with concrete materials then connect those concepts to pictorial representations, and finally move onto abstract application. These move fluidly back & forth.
-We teach students to visualize which allows them to be able to do a problem multiple ways.
-We encourage students explaining their math thinking using both verbal and written means.
