Dear Elementary Families,
MISD is hosting a K-5 Math Learning Night.
Come learn about productive math struggle using iReady Classroom Mathematics routines!
We will model a sample of a lesson portion, to help families see how iReady Classroom Mathematics operates, instructionally. This is likely different from how many of us learned math in school as children.
This night is meant to experience learning. We will not be walking through the iReady assessments, as this is meant to discuss the iReady Classroom Mathematics (curriculum), which is not the same as the assessment suite.
When: October 15, 2024 from 5:30pm-6:30pm
Where: Northwood Commons/Quiet Dining
What: Experience Productive Math Struggle
Please complete a short registration survey so we know how many to expect.
Sincerely,
MISD Communications
