School Goal for 2023-2024

2023-2024 School Goals

At Twelfth Avenue for the 2023-2024 school year, our goal is:

To foster mathematical vocabulary and language in mathematical discussions and increase students’ ability to explain and justify mathematical ideas and decisions.  Classrooms will devote two weekly classes to open-ended word problems or number talks.

Students will be able to work in groups to tackle different mathematical tasks and share their results with one another.  We believe that this practice and experience will help develop mindsets that there are multiple ways to tackle a word problem or task, and that there could be multiple entry points for a variety of students who may have English as a second language, and/or low self-confidence/self-efficacy in mathematics.
