The Ready Mathema,cs | i-Ready program is used as a primary math instruc,onal
resource. Additional resources used to support math instruction include IXL and
the units of study developed by Atlanta Public Schools and the Georgia Department of
Educa:on. This year marks the second year FLS will par,cipate in implemen,ng
and strategically using strategies to improve numeracy PreK-5th.
Moreover, My Math, Georgia Numeracy Project, and Do the Math are a few
resources used to support students while providing targeting instruction to close
the achievement gap is noted school-wide in numeracy.
Mathematics practices include:
o Standards-based instruction is the priority. The curricular resources are used
to ensure that the standards are being taught.
o Problem solving with student-shared strategies is included in math
instruc,on.
o The use of manipulative(s) is expected to be an integral part of all math
lessons.
o Using Guided Math instruction, teachers are able to work with small groups
that are determined by scholars’ achievement levels and needs. This allows
teachers to closely observe each scholar's work, monitor scholar's attention, provide
strong support for struggling learners, and provide extra challenges for
proficient learners.
Frank Lebby Stanton Elementary School teachers connect mathema,cs, literature,
and writing. Students read literature that aid in understanding math concepts in a
real world and/or fictional context. Writing is used to aid students in clarifying
their own understanding of mathematics by organizing their ideas and thoughts
more logically and structuring their conclusions in a more coherent way.
