Quinte Mohawk School Information

At Quinte Mohawk School we follow the Ontario Curriculum in all subject areas including math, but we are very excited to be leading the way in this particular subject area with an exciting groundbreaking program! Based on research and current educational theory, we have developed a math program which we believe better caters to the diverse and unique needs of our 21 st Century Learners! Our program focuses on developing not only content knowledge, but also the mathematical processes using Problem Solving focused around Big Ideas in math. This includes: Student Centered 3 Part Lessons Deep Open-Ended Problems Hands on Work Individual, Partner, & Group Work Using Manipulatives Investigating & Questioning Reasoning & Reflecting Discussing Our Learning Immediate Feedback Each month we will be focusing on a different Big Idea (i.e. Number Skills, Linear Measurement) and developing our knowledge and problem solving skills in that area. What's a Big Idea you ask? Well it's a group of related mathematical subjects and concepts that use the same procedures and processes to complete. By focusing on these ideas we hope to cover the curriculum in more depth. We are also breaking ground with our math program by having 2 full-time Math Partners: Kaleena Hanoski ~ Grades 3-5 Robin Green ~ Grades 6-8 This means that EVERY DAY, your student has not only their regular classroom teacher, but also a second teacher in their classroom teaching math! Out Math Partners co-teach with your child's regular classroom teacher which allows for a more engaging learning environment. As we're sure you can tell, we are quite enthusiastic about the possibilities that this program brings with it! We want this year to be challenging and exciting for your student, but most of all we want it to be fun and to inspire a love of mathematics!
