Math Wiz Wednesdays


We have begun Math Wiz Wednesdays with a focus on ARMT specs.  Grades K-5 have designated at least 30 minutes per week while grades 6-8 will utilize as much as a full class period.   Though outside resources are being utilized (i.e. Buckle Down and Coach books), inquiry-based instruction and effective questioning techniques are being utilized.  Much emphasis is being given to open-ended questions and gridded answers.
