Some students used the computers,
others
math
manipulatives,
It
was a time to estimate, measure,
calculate, and record as these young
mathematicians discovered ways to
solve meaningful and relevant math
problems.
“We are continuously creating
activities that challenge the students
to learn and deepen understanding.”
continued Rizk.
Through various math engagements
students are able to investigate, think
critically, make connections and thus
create their own understanding.
In this way all learning styles are
addressed.
Parents wrote reflections that
indicated that they were really
impressed. Many parents admitted
that they never liked math, but they
were pleased to see how excited
their children were as they tackled
math problems.
With the success of the Math Week
still resonating at the Elementary
School, future projects include
inviting parents to attend music, art,
physical education, and various other
classes.
What an enjoyable moment for the
students! What an affirming moment
for theteachers!Whatanenlightening
moment for the parents!
