Members of the Professional Learning Office have been working tirelessly awaiting your return.  Resources have been prepared or updated.    Curriculum Guides and Content Maps are available for your use.  Our friends at Math Nation have created Suggested Pacing Guides for Algebra (Algebra I, Algebra IA and Algebra IB) as well as for Geometry.  You can access each of these and an assortment of other resources on the Secondary Math SharePoint. 

In the wake of COVID-19, Go Math representatives collaborated with the International Center for Leadership in Education and identified the highest priority standards as focal points by grade level.  These frameworks will assist educators in prioritizing standards most critical to students' success in achieving grade level proficiencies and above, as well as identify specific content from prior grades to be used for scaffolding and reteaching.  These documents may assist teachers in the planning stage of instructional design.  The standards can be accessed by clicking on the link: Essential Content Frameworks.

The Chiles Mu Alpha Theta club offers tutoring in math both on a volunteer and on a paid basis.  Students/parents can request a tutor by e-mailing chilesmaotutoring@gmail.com. 

On November 2, there will be two one-hour Q & A Sessions held for math teachers.  During each hour, teachers will give brief presentations on a particular topic.  For example, one teacher will be discussing the One Note Application, how she uses it daily and how it helps her students.  She will identify hurdles she encountered using the application and will offer expanations of how the challenges were circumvented.  

 

 

 

The Office of Professional Learning has created emergency lessons that can be shared with your students!  LCS has already made copies of the documents and distribution is managed at your site.  If you have secondary math specific questions, please email Denise or Delia.
