Welcome to the Math Intervention page at Porter's Point School!
Ms. Palermo
My name is Paula Palermo. I've been working as a teacher in the public school system for over 20 years, primarily as a classroom teacher but most recently as a math interventionist. I love sharing my passion for mathematics with everyone, especially children, and it is my strong belief that ALL of us are mathematicians. Mathematics is so much MORE than just computation. Math is about patterns, relationships, creativity and exploration.
Mr. Janelli
In our small group sessions, students receive instruction and practice in foundational math facts and skills as well as supplementation of current in-class unit material.
Please take a look at some of the activities that you can use to support your child at home. Likewise, you may want to read some of the articles shared about learning math. You may find some of these ideas and observations different from your personal experience as a child learning math. We hope you find them interesting and insightful!
Please check back to see additional resources as the site grows.
