Why don’t our kids work on Math?
Is GWA math’s programme as rigorous as other math programmes?
Is my child going to manage if I move them to another school system?
Our goals for Math in the PYP is for student to understand that math is:
1. A vehicle to support inquiry
2. A global language through which we make sense of the world
3. A way of thinking, as opposed to seeing it as a series of facts and equations to be memorized.
4. A tool for describing, analyzing and solving problems in our world
Our curriculum is referred to as our Math Scope & Sequence document.
A variety of textbooks and resources help teachers to plan, teach and assess against outcomes from the Scope & Sequence document.
The PYP emphasizes that teachers use a range and balance of teaching strategies, resources and assessment tools to create engaging, relevant and meaningful learning experiences for students.
MAP testing is our external validation

one group working with the teacher)
Feedback throughout that enables students to make adjustments to their learning
Informal assessment – observations, notes, student self-reflection at the end of lesson

How much time is spent on Maths?
GRADE 1 COMMON CORE-USASolve word problems that call for addition of three whole numbers whose sum is less than or equal to 20, e.g., by using objects, drawings, and equations with a symbol for the unknown number to represent the problem.
Year 2 The Australian Curriculum Solve simple addition and subtractionproblems using a range of efficient mentaland written strategies
Grade 1 GWA Curriculum N4.1b Model addition and subtraction using manipulatives up to 20
WITH AUTOMATICITYN5.1a Completes single digit addition and subtraction calculations using a variety of strategies (counting on, number line, 100 chart)N5.1b Recall and use addition and number facts to 10
