Dear Students and Families,
We are so excited to share that this year, Winnisquam Regional Middle School has a brand new math program! Math teachers examined several programs last year. We scrutinized them carefully for content, and features that aligned with the Common Core Standards and the Winnisquam Regional School District competencies. Then, we chose an amazing program! It is the enVision Mathematics Program. You are going to love it!
EnVisions Mathematics is a grade 5-8 program that was developed with focus, coherence and rigor. It provides students rich opportunities to build understanding of important new mathematical concepts, and develop fluency with key skills necessary for success in algebra. To achieve this, the program includes content focused lessons and modeling that promote mathematical connections. Each topic features a lesson designed to engage students in modeling everyday events to help them see that math is really all around them. In the middle grades, that means an emphasis on proportional reasoning, numbers and computation, and algebra and functions through problem solving, exploration, application and explicit instruction.
The student materials for the EnVisions Mathematics Program for grades 5-8 includes a two volume consumable textbook. Students will be able to complete work and examples in the consumable textbook, and keep it when the year ends giving them a great resource for the following year. In addition, the program can be accessed online. Resources are available in print and digital form so students can expect a variety of ways to learn, practice and demonstrate proficiency.
We are excited to teach our students this year using the enVisions Mathematics Program. It is one element that will contribute to providing a high quality math curriculum at WRMS. We encourage you to frequently ask your child to share with you what they are learning in math, and to make opportunities to do math as a family.
Please feel free to contact your child’s math teacher through the district email at any time during the school year.
Sincerely,
WRMS Math Department
