We are all mathematicians in Room 14!
My math program is standards based, which means I use the CCSS to guide all instruction. (For more information about the Common Core State Standards, please click HERE.)
We will use the Math Expressions program as the framework for our studies, but we will not be working page-by-page through the workbook. Homework will not always be a worksheet from the Math Expressions book.
I use CGI -- cognitively guided instruction -- strategies to teach math, which involves encouraging students to use what they know, explore what they don't know, and experiment with multiple strategies to find patterns and solve problems.
I LOVE math, and I hope that by the end of the year all students in Room 14 will feel like capable mathematicians!
