Washington Intermediate will be providing an after school math program again this year! We started this program two years ago to address the concern that our students did not know their times-tables and other basic facts as well as they should have. Students could do the basic facts, but their fluency (speed or rate) at which they computed the facts needed increased. Out of that discussion came our After School Math Program. During the course of the 2007-08 school year, students will be able to stay after school for an hour to work on their math facts, play math games, use the computers, and other fun activities to help them memorize their basic facts. In addition to the classrooms working on basic facts, we hope to also have at least one teacher work with students who have mastered their facts and let them engage in higher-level math problems, activities and games. We are fortunate that local businesses sponsor each day by bringing in snacks and/or activities for the students to do. Students who have attended the program can tell you that it is a lot of fun and it works! The dates and important information is listed below. If you have any further questions, give us a call or email Mr. Barry. Hope to see your child there on September 11th!
