Walk to Math Program Model The concept behind Walk to Math is students receiving math instruction at their individual level. We all know that students learn in different ways and at their own individual pace. Mathematics is unique in that math lessons often build on previous math skills and concepts. If students have not mastered the previous skills and concepts, they are often confused and have difficulty mastering the new. Our goal for this program is to master all of their grade level math skills before they enter the next grade level.

Grade Level Math Standards Each month, or unit, teachers will focus on teaching several math standards. After a teacher finishes the unit, the students will be given assessments to check student understanding. In addition to unit tests, teachers administer standard based “check-points" (usually 3 problems) to ensure student mastery on previously taught standards. These “check-points” help teachers ensure that students have mastered all previously taught standards.
