To learn and practice skills in mathematics and numeracy, Clippers use i-Ready Classroom Mathematics (simply called i-Ready), a connected learning system for assessment, instruction, and support.
Students are assessed three times a year using the iReady Math Diagnostic, which provides comprehensive insight into student learning and growth to help teachers meet the needs of all students. Students will use the “Try-Discuss-Connect” routine framework, which deepens conceptual understanding and promotes collaborative problem solving, helping to build students' math confidence.
In addition to daily direct teacher instruction, a key component is the personalized learning platform called My Path.
Our mathematics program is designed to help all children be successful with rigorous, grade-level content by using flexible, equitable, and accessible instruction.
