MATHEMATICS ACADEMY

 

The math curriculum is presented using CIMS, the Comprehensive Instructional Managements System, a teacher designed educational delivery system composed of a curriculum, a testing component and a computer managed reporting system. 

The CIMS curriculum is organized into modules or groupings of similar skills or understandings.

Each module has a suggested period of duration for student mastery, a listing of new skills to be mastered by the student in the form of performance objectives, a section devoted to vocabulary, terms and symbols, getting started activities which serve as prerequisite skills in preparation for undertaking new objectives, strategies for teaching the new skills and student activities for providing reinforcement for the newly learned objective.

Homework assignments are spiraled, reviewing material covered in previous lessons, and contain word problems related to skills learned in the day's lesson.

computer generated midyear report identifies each student's areas of weakness, thereby enabling the teacher to remediate the delays.
