Math at P.S. 142

At P.S. 142 we hold the following 4 core beliefs about math instruction:

• Mistakes offer valuable opportunities for learning.  
• Fluency follows understanding.
• Communication and discussion are important parts of math learning.
• Math time should consist of investigation, exploration, creativity, and positive feelings about mathematics.

We use EngageNY as the foundation of our math curriculum.  Teachers work with their colleagues to adapt the printed lessons to our students' needs and interests.  We believe that math time should consist of investigation, exploration, creativity, and communication with peers and teachers.  Most importantly, teachers ensure that students have ownership of math learning and develop critical thinking and problem solving skills.
