We are really focusing on the conceptual framework behind these different math skills so that students understand more than a process but also why the process works. One example is where students learned why you can cross out the zeros in the numerator and denominator.

At the start of nearly each Math lesson there is a “Think” section where students are exposed to a complex problem that they most likely don’t know how to tackle yet. Students are encouraged to attempt solutions and consider different strategies. These different strategies are celebrated and we talk often about working through things that are hard.
