Math Studio
What is Math Studio?
Math Studio, previously known as Math Lab, is a collaborative learning space for students to experience learning mathematics in a new way. My vision is to create an environment that ensures that students have flexible options that maximize engagement so that they reach their full potential. The best way to describe it is for you to see this model in action.

Why Choose Math Studio?
Math Studio is modeled after a Modern Classroom, watch the short video to learn about the advantages of this learning environment.
What will it look like at RHL?
Blended Instruction
Lecture in class is replaced by instructional videos that I have created. Students will complete the guided notes that accompany the lesson videos at home. Time in class will be used for teacher support, collaboration with peers, and feedback.
Self-Paced Structure
By replacing one-size-fits-all pacing with flexible structures, students have the time they need to learn and are always appropriately challenged. I will provide "on pace" guidelines to help students complete the coursework for each semester.
Mastery-Based Grading
Students will complete Mastery Checks within each unit of study prior to moving on to more advanced material. At the end of each topic, students will also demonstrate their knowledge through a summative assessment, task, or project.
Other Benefits for RHL Families & Students
Choice in when to attend class:
Students may attend class more than two days a week in our current model
Students may remain in class for an extended period past the block time if their schedule allows
Running Start students may attend Mon/Fri or Tue/Thurs to better suit their Clark schedule
Students may take the course as an Independant Study course and attend class as needed
