The middle school mathematics department is constantly working and reflecting to best meet the needs of our students. In grade-level meetings, we meet weekly and discuss curriculum and content, adjusting based on our students knowledge and performance. Data drives our instruction, we analyze student work to guide our remediation and enrichment. We have used the Connected Math Program for many years, and in that time have been experts in supplementing where the resources don’t meet the standards or the needs of our students. Walk past a math room and you will see students collaborating, discussing, investigating with one another, or watching differentiated videos; all fostered by the Chromes.
As a department, we analyze student data to be more informed about how our curriculum might need to be adjusted to better serve our students. We look for trends and areas of weakness that we were able to use to inform our instruction and better prepare our students.
