TONIGHT’S AGENDA K - 5th Grade Math Walk to Math Program Model Grade Level Math Standards Assessments Student Progress Reports Classroom Instruction, Routines, Homework Parent Resources 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.

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 TONIGHT’S AGENDA K - 5th Grade ~ Walk to Math Walk to Math Program Model Grade Level Math Standards Assessments Student Progress Reports Classroom Instruction, Routines, Homework Parent Resources Assessments should be…….
