So...what will we be doing in math class this year?
Connected Mathematics Program
The Connected Math program is used to help children learn complicated math concepts by discovery and exploration while using real life examples. While the program can be very difficult for special education students, we have found it to be extremely successful in helping our students grasp fairly complicated math concepts!

The Connected Mathematics web site offers a great deal of parent help and resources. There is a parent section that offers examples, sample homeworks, and vocabulary definitions for parents and students.
Books that will be taught this year..
Accentuate the Negative:
Integers and Rational Numbers - Understanding and modeling positive and negative integers and rational numbers, including operations (adding, subtracting, multiplying, and dividing), and properties of operations (order of operations and distributive property).
Shapes and Designs:
Two-Dimensional Geometry - Understanding properties of shapes and angle relationships of regular and irregular polygons.
Stretching and Shrinking:
Understanding Similarity - Understanding similar figures, including scale factors, finding missing sides, side length ratios, and basic similarity transformations and their algebraic rules.
Comparing and Scaling:
Ratio, Rates, Percents, & Proportions - Understanding fractions, percentages, ratios, and rates, including making comparisons, proportional reasoning, and solving proportions.
Moving Straight Ahead:
Linear Relationships - Recognizing and representing linear relationships in tables, graphs, words, and symbols, including solving linear equations and slope.
What Do You Expect?:
Probability - Understanding how to reason about uncertainty, including calculating experimental and theoretical probabilities and equally-likely and non-equally-likely outcomes.
Filling and Wrapping:
Three-Dimensional Measurement - Understanding spatial visualization, volume and surface area of various solids, and volume and surface area relationships.
Samples and Populations:
Making Comparisons & Predictions - Understanding the use of measures of center and spread to describe and compare samples and populations.
