Accelerated Math for our Sixth Graders

We have started to implement the Accelerated Math program in our sixth grade class this year. The Elementary Department is using it in grades 2-5. It has been a fun start so far. Accelerated Math, or AM for short, will be done on Wednesdays. Students are able to go at their own pace and have the ability to go over things they are not so sure about. Several have started out strongly. Others are working at a steady pace. I love to see the initiative that's been shown already. I believe the program lists 219 objectives that can be covered. The students can tackle two or three at a time. I don't know if anyone will complete all 219, but there are a couple who might want to try. This track will also help our administration to determine which students belong in the standard and the accelerated classes in 7th and 8th grades. I am encouraged by the effort of each of the sixth graders. If you're a parent, you can be proud of how well your child is doing during our AM time.
