Overview

This blog is to communicate information about our Math Curriculum to archive DCPS initiatives, Phelps High School Math Department initiatives, course materials, to publish the courses curricula, syllabi, lessons, homework assignments, scoring guides, and power point presentations. This blog contains varied Mathematical information for students, teachers, and parents to increase proficiency in Math. This is another way for me to collaborate with other Math teachers.

Accelerated Math

Embedding technology in the classroom instruction is really powerful. The Accelerated Math Program is a technology software that our teachers have been embedding in their classroom teaching. It is an academic intervention targeting the instructional needs of striving students. It goes with a scanner that provides instant result for students' work. It makes the students more engaged and eager to accomplish their work. It gives students a sense of ownership of their work which makes them feel accountable for their task performance and learning.
We conducted series of Accelerated Math Trainings for DCPS teachers last November 10th, 12th, and 13th of 2008 at McKinley Technology SHS.
