Math

We believe that...

• Every student has the ability to achieve at high levels and recognize that students need personalized pathways and support to reach their full potential
• Students learn best through perseverance and the practice of mathematics
• Students gain deeper understanding through teacher and peer feedback to learn from their mistakes
• Math concepts are connected through multiple representation and the application to real world situations
• Math concepts are explored and demonstrated through communication, collaboration, critical thinking, and the balanced use of technology to support student learning.

Grade 5 Advanced Math is a program that will deepen and enrich the 5 Texas Essential Knowledge and Skills Standards and expose students to the next level concepts as they directly correlate with certain 5th grade skills and concepts. Compacted learning will occur when & where appropriate to extend the learning vertically. The  instruction, however will be rigorous and concentrate on developing various current grade level skills. Students will be required to demonstrate fluency, application and abstract understanding in Numerical Representations and Relationships as well as Computations and Algebraic Relationships.

Through such rigorous instruction, students who successfully complete Math 5 Advanced Math will more easily transition into advanced mathematics courses at the Intermediate level.
