"Math and More" at McCullough Elementary School

The Final installment in my blog series about Penn-Trafford's pilot programs focuses on another program aimed at customizing education for students.  The "Math and More" program will have grades 3, 4 and 5 working collaboratively to provide different learning experiences for students.  The room that has been designated as a resource room for this project will have various hands-on activities aimed at providing a customizable experience for students.  I am excited to watch the teachers work together to build this program into something fantastic!  Here is a short "blurb" about the project written by Mr. Marasti the principal at the school.

Students at McCullough Elementary will experience the new Math and More Lab, a lab devoted to engaging students in hands on mathematics.   The students will have the opportunity to immerse themselves in essential skills, such as critical thinking and problem solving.  You will find students working independently and within collaborative groups.  This room will provide opportunities for the students to go beyond the traditional classroom .  Technology will be integrated with the use of smartboards, ipads, and the mobile computer lab. Grades 3-5 will be able to explore the M & M Lab while working with the interactive centers for Math & More.
