Core Resources
iReady Classroom Mathematics by Curriculum Associates is the core resource used for mathematics instruction. The lesson design focuses on a Try It! problem where students attempt to solve, then share their strategies with classmates. Teachers add on to student thinking with pictures and models. Through discourse, students consider the concepts and procedures in that day's lesson. Students then have multiple and varied opportunities for practice including workbook pages, center activities, learning games and digital activities.

Teachers in Regional School District 17 have been trying out teaching practices from the research of Peter Liljedahl and his book Building Thinking Classrooms.
Some features you may see in your child's classroom include:
tasks (Short, engaging tasks related to topics in the current unit topics or focused on open-ended problem solving)
vertical non-permanent surfaces (Multiple whiteboard posters around the room for collaborative problem solving in a risk-free environment)
visibly random groups (Students working in groups of 2 or 3)
note-making (Students choosing what they want to remind their "future forgetful self" about in a math journal or notebook)
check your understanding (Short problem sets to self-check your progress)
