One of our schools goals
is always to raise our MCA math scores.
One way we are trying to reach this goal is by implementing the
Accelerated Math (AM) program in your child’s math class. AM is a computer-based program that
individualizes instruction. The 6th,
7th, and 8th grade math classes will be using AM to help
build missing math skills. AM has
different grade level libraries that allow for students to work at their
independent skill level. Students are
assigned a library based on the results of their September STAR test.
At the beginning of October, students started working
on AM. They will continue to work on AM
on the math day in their enrichment classes.
They can also work on these when done with their work in other classes,
like their reading book. Based on need,
we may also work on AM in your child’s math class. Please help us help your student by
supporting this effort with AM. Make
sure your student is working on and keeping up with their AM worksheets and
meeting their objectives.
AM is a good way to get extra math help, see problems
worded differently and will help your child build their missing math
skills. By now your child should be
started on the AM sheets in class and be aware of how the process works. If you have any questions for me about the
process, please feel free to give me a call or send an email.
