Math

Math at The Accord School follows a balanced, explorative, hands-on approach to teaching math, often incorporating problem/project-based learning that ties math to the everyday world. Math instruction for students entering grade 5 is a Guided Math approach that allows students to experience math in a variety of ways daily.

In our middle school, advanced students also have the chance to be a part of Compacted Math, which allows them to move more quickly through the standards, eventually fulfilling 9th Grade math standards by the end of their 8th Grade year.

Liz's goal is to make math more approachable, and help students gain confidence in their abilities. She works to identify each student's gaps in the foundations of math, and creates individualized learning plans to catch them up to grade-level. These areas often include multiplication facts, fractions, place value, and overall number sense.
