Math Standards for Grade 7 and Grade 8

Everyone is different, and we learn differently, too. Historically, math has been taught by teaching students a series of steps. Some students thrive in this environment, but research has shown that most people prefer to learn math visually. The problem is that most parents and adults around our students have never learned math that way. Here are some resources to show how math can be taught visually. Mrs. Chiu will teach math both ways, and she is working hard to update her links so that you have many options to try to learn concepts in math.
Need more challenging problems? Here are performance tasks that you can try. Most of the ones we do in class cannot be brought home, but these can be done at home. Performance Tasks |
