Walk to Math Program Model
 The concept behind Walk to Math is students receiving
math instruction at their individual level.
 We all know that students learn in different ways and at
their own individual pace. Mathematics is unique in that
math lessons often build on previous math skills and
concepts. If students have not mastered the previous
skills and concepts, they are often confused and have
difficulty mastering the new.
 Our goal for this program is to master all of their grade
level math skills before they enter the next grade level.
Grade Level Math Standards
Each month, or unit, teachers will focus on teaching
several math standards. After a teacher finishes the unit,
the students will be given assessments to check student
understanding. In addition to unit tests, teachers
administer standard based “check-points" (usually 3
problems) to ensure student mastery on previously
taught standards. These “check-points” help teachers
ensure that students have mastered all previously
taught standards.

Habits of a Mathematically Expert
Student
The Common Core proposes a set of Mathematical Practices that all teachers should
develop in their students:
1.
Make sense of problems and persevere in solving them
2.
Reason abstractly and quantitatively
3.
Construct viable arguments and critique the reasoning of others
4.
Model with mathematics
5.
Use appropriate tools strategically
6.
Attend to precision
7.
Look for and make use of structure
8.
Look for and express regularity in repeated reasoning
A Balanced Math Program
A well-balanced
mathematics program includes:
• Conceptual understanding
• Procedural proficiency
• Mathematical processes
