Math

Overview

My math instruction was informed by  the Common Core State Standards for Mathematics. I primarily use the EngageNY curriculum and drew additional resources from Dan Meyer,  Duane Habecker, enVision, Graham Fletcher, Investigations, Mike Lawler, YouCubed. My students and I develop success criteria for all classroom practices, including math assignments, and it is available here.

Patterns for addition and subtraction triangles are available here. Patterns for multiplication and division are available here.
