Abingdon's Math Specialist Team
The math program at Abingdon supports students in developing strong mathematical skills with understanding, problem-solving strategies, and communication skills. K-5 teachers are using the newly-adopted curriculum materials from Houghton Mifflin Harcourt, Math Expressions. Abingdon’s Math Coach plans with teachers, co-teaches in their classrooms, and works with students toward the goal of deep understanding of mathematics content and computational fluency. Teachers and students use a variety of math strategies and materials toward meeting that goal.
