Math Information and Resources
During math class, my students will be encouraged to develop a Positive Math Mindset while working on a variety of math concepts. A big focus for us will be to discover how Math is used within various jobs and careers.
We will be a variety of web-based learning sites this year, including Imagine Math, IXL and Achieve 3000 Math. These fantastic math sites allow us to differentiate learning to students' individual instructional levels.
