Math Standards Group

Math Standards Groups

Beginning in September, we will break students into groups for additional math instruction on a daily basis.  We will do this in the following way:

-         Each Thursday students will take a pretest in their classroom on a selected standard (this will be one that has already been taught in the homeroom).

-         On Friday, the 4^th grade team will meet and look at the test results.  We will be looking to see which students need to review the standard that was taught, which students need some review, but are ready to apply the standard, and which students are ready to work with the standard in a more advanced way.

-         Those students will then be placed into groups and work with Mrs. Bauman, Mrs. Lecher, or Mrs. Maddox for the week on the standard.

The groups are very fluid because they look at a student’s knowledge of each standard and change each week.  For example, one week a student may need to review the standard of adding fractions with unlike denominators, and the next week be working with the standard of converting fractions to decimals in an advanced way.
