For each credit (two studios), you will complete math in three different forms.
- First, you will need to learn the basic math skills and concepts. This will be done through traditional teaching and worksheets and include a test or quiz assessment after each module.
- Second, you will attend a set number of number talks with the teacher. The number talks will focus on major concepts, explanations, and mental math.
- Lastly, you will complete one performance task for every two studios, in which you demonstrate your ability to use math in an application project. The performance task will not cover all math skills and concepts from the course, but will use some of the math skills and concepts from the course.

WEST ADA LEARNING CYCLE
WEST ADA LEARNING CYCLE
To the left is our West Ada Academies Learning Cycle. This course is designed with content that fits into one of five categories: Engage, Explore, Practice, Apply, and Reflect. You will move through the stages of the learning cycle as you engage in the studio's driving questions, and then learn, practice, and apply the target skills listed above. When you get to the apply stage, you will make a presentation or use another method to show what you know. Finally, at each Milestone and again at the end of the studio, you will reflect on your project and what you have learned.
