Day 374

Our District's Adopted Math Text

Singapore Math...A Supplement

To Add More Problem Solving
All teachers know that just one program alone does not work when teaching.  It takes supplemental materials and a good amount of work, from the teacher, to make a program that works for his/her particular students.

Our district had adopted the EnVision math program but our principal had also found the Singapore math program.  So, we weaved in the Singapore with the EnVision.  Then, I joined some other teachers, in the SVMI program which taught us about many strategies including the Problem of the Month.

Well, on Wednesday, about 9 teachers were observed by a group of visiting principals, teachers, and district employees to see our math program.  Boy, were we nervous!  But the kids were wonderful and our program shined.  The visitors were so complimentary.
