2nd Nine Weeks

As a continued effort to keep parents and guardians informed of the expectations and
content being covered in math class this year, this informational handout will be
provided for each nine weeks. Its intent is to assist in guiding you in ways to support
your child in deepening their mathematical understanding.
Our goal is to keep a balance of skill-based learning along with enhancing our
students ability to problem solve and think conceptually.
