Math House A December 6th

There are concerns about the Process Standards on the first trimester report cards.  Math teachers in the middle school discussed what math practices/process standards we would report on but did not set specific criteria for those processes that was commonly reported.  Since the math practices are a fundamental aspect of problem solving "2" the symbol for "working" was assigned to every one implying that we are working on them.

The report cards represent what was commonly taught be all math teachers.  Power School has more details. In Power School all of the items in blue are live links.
