Madison Elementary School 2006-2007
The grant-funded project:
“Math Superstars,” designed to improve math achievement among students, is a model for collaboration among students, parents, teachers and administrators that N.C. Principal Fellow and MSA candidate Lewis F. Baker II implemented at Madison. It also encourages students to think analytically and develop alternate problem-solving strategies.
After completing a survey to reveal the overall culture of third-grade children with regard to mathematics, third graders participate in weekly Math Superstars workshops, working in small groups with parents for challenging problem-solving experiences.
The expected results:
In addition to improving math test scores for third graders, this effort will lay the groundwork for subsequent training by parents for the following year’s Math Superstar leaders. It also provide data on such enrichment activities and their effectiveness for changing student culture and increasing students’ self-reliance while solving math problems. | | |
