Achievement Categories In Simple Terms

Just before the break I had the opportunity to visit a Grade Six classroom outside of our FOS. In Jessica’s class she co-created an anchor chart on the four categories of math achievement. This chart is hung up in her classroom and allows the students to focus in on what elements are in each area. I appreciated the chart because it is worded in simple language, but is very clear on what is expected in each category. This would be a good activity to do with your class to get them (and their parents) to understand that math is more than just basic rote facts – But rather a combination of different elements that all have real world applications.
Thank you Jessica for allowing myself, and the other coaches into your classroom.
