Math
Our district follows the Pearson Envisions Math Program. This program is segmented into 16 Topics. Each topic has between 6-10 daily lessons. Each lesson has a "Quick Check" that checks for understanding. At the close of each topic a "Topic Test" is taken to assess that topic. After Topics 4, 8, 12 and 16 a "Benchmark Test" is administered to check for retention of the concepts and skills. We assess the students at the beginning of the year and end of the year, to check for growth.
