Math

-Last year, during the Math Expressions walk-through at Apex Elementary, it was noted there was very little "Math Talk" occurring in the classrooms. Obviously we are aware that they only saw a small "clip" of your math lesson, but how do you and your team use math talk in the classroom and what are the benefits of this math talk?

We try integrate mathematics whenever appropriate with our curriculum. We are unsure exactly what "math talk" refers to and would open to finding out more. -- Specialist (J Bryant, C Cannon, J Owens, J Baas, J Viau and S Reid)
