Math Workshop
Using Common Core Math Standards as the springboard for our math program, 1st grade has created a math program that combines knowing basic number facts, and using higher level thinking to problem solve. Scott Foresman Investigations provides a basic format for introducing the math skills that form the early foundation of math proficiency. This program is supplemented with tiered learning games - games where students increase their challenge as their base knowledge grows. MAP testing, and Kathy Richardson assessments help track growth, and target areas where extra support, or additional challenges, are needed.
