Math

Julia teaches fifth grade math; Sam teaches fourth. Bridges mathematics curriculum is the backbone of math learning in 4th and 5th grade. Teachers will move through the 8 possible units at a pace dictated by the students through pre-assessments and checkpoints throughout the unit. Teachers also integrate other curricula to create a rich and dynamic math class, such as Marcy Cook number problems, Cathy Fosnot units, gflecthy 3-Act problems, and more.

Some tenets we believe are…

Seize the opportunity to be wrong and learn from it. Wrong answers are often more valuable than correct ones.
Everyone is a mathematician. Forget about what you thought before.
Show your work.
Math is patterns.
We will develop habits and patterns of thinking this year to help you solve math problems, so every problem doesn’t feel new.
