During the 2013-2014 school year the Janesville-Waldorf-Pemberton School District adopted a new math curriculum for our students in grades K-12. The elementary adopted Math Expressions published by Houghton Mifflin.
With every curriculum adoption there are challenges to be met. Teachers work hard to familiarize themselves with the new curriculum and to develop appropriate pacing. Our students and families are challenged to adapt to new languages, appearance, pedagogy and procedures. Math Expressions is a unique curriculum that challenges our students to look at numbers differently to extend their learning.
As a way to assist families and students in their understanding of these unfamiliar concepts, one of our third grade teachers, Mrs. Roesler, put together video tutorials. Once these videos are made, Mrs. Roesler can send them out via e-mail and post them to her website. This is one fine example of how our teachers work diligently to provide our families with effective communication. To view an example video tutorial, please click on the play button above.
