Thank you to all families supporting this important work.UCS teachers and staff will be engaged in...

The Work:

Teacher teams will analyze student progress in math.

 K-2 teachers analyze student application of skills for applying number theory, performing math operations and problem solving. 

3-4 teachers examine student progress for the application of multiplicative reasoning, and approach to problem solving. 

              The benefit of this work once a month has been significant to student progress.  Teachers have become proficient in using the OGA (Ongoing Assessment Project) Multiplicative Reasoning Framework and the PNOA ( Primary Number and Operations Assessment) Framework. UCS teachers know each student's specific progress, and further fine tunes instruction for individualized learning through Math Menu work.
