Math with Mrs. Moulton

Mathematics in Context challenges students to discover mathematical concepts through engaging problems. Students study algebra, geometry, probability, and more using real-world contexts. Writing in math deepens understanding and improves problem-solving skills. Homework is assigned regularly, with support for late submissions. Absent students can catch up by checking the homework information line and getting missed assignments. The goal is for students to enjoy math and feel empowered in their mathematical abilities. Relevant websites for additional help and practice are provided.

  1. Math with Mrs. Moulton 2005-2006 School Year

  2. Mrs. MoultonMath • Telephone Number 429-9341 ext. 200 • Email moultonbm@mansfieldct.org • Homework info 429-5004 ext. 6200

  3. Mathematics in Context “Mathematics in Context is a dynamic middle school curriculum that challenges students to discover mathematical concepts and skills through engaging problems and meaningful contexts.” www.mic.britanicca.com/mic/common/home.asp

  4. Students in MIC… • Develop mathematical models and strategies to solve problems • Study number sense, algebra, geometry, data analysis, and probability • Use numbers, symbols, diagrams, and words to describe the world around them

  5. Math in Context Books… • Patterns and Symbols (algebra) • Some of the Parts (fractions) • Picturing Numbers (data analysis) • Measure for Measure (metric system) • Per Sense (percents) • Take a Chance (probability)

  6. Writing in Mathematics • Deepens mathematical understanding, • Allows for “time” to learn, • Helps retain mathematical learning, • Fosters meaningful connections between what students already know and new leaning • Improves problem solving, • Improves communication skills, • Empowers students to view themselves as budding mathematicians, • Helps assess student progress and thinking skills, • Improve instruction

  7. Math Facts… • We work on accuracy and speed with the times tables • Progress/growth is tracked using the Mad Minute Program • Practice outside of the classroom is homework every night for every student

  8. Homework… • Homework is given almost every night • Assignments are written in students’ assignment books • Assignments are also posted on the homework information line • A late homework slip will be given if homework is not completed on time

  9. Homework continued.. • Late homework notices will be stapled to assignment books and requires parent/guardian signatures • When homework is not completed on time, X block will be used to complete homework and catch up

  10. When students are absent we ask that… • You check the homework information line for the homework assignment that was given • Sign up for a classroom teacher during X block to get all missed assignments • Get caught up as soon as you can

  11. Most importantly… • Students enjoy mathematics • Have fun and feel safe in school

  12. Information and Websites • www.funbrain.com • www.mathforum.com • www.nctm.org

  13. Questions…
