6-8 Mathematics

Middle School Mathematics

Photo focused on a student listening to a teacher at the front of the classroom.At the Garrison School, we use the enVision math series. This series combines problem-based learning with visual learning. This is to help students gain a deeper understanding of math concepts with visual models and scaffolds built into the program. There are many real life examples of how math is used in the world around us. We utilize the STAR Renaissance Assessment three times a year to monitor student progress along with enVisions diagnostic assessments.

Throughout the year, students enjoy exploring math concepts and will participate in an end of year project based learning activity tailored for their grade level.
