Changes in Math

Right before we came back to school Mrs. Pierce and I were able to attend a training at Geneva regarding a new math program they started this year (Math In Focus).  Since we already had our Saxon books we decided to move forward with Saxon for the year.  After doing more research and seeing how the girls are working through Saxon this year, we have decided to meld both Saxon and Math In Focus together.  Given the higher level math we are learning this year we feel Math In Focus allows a deeper understanding of the concepts and promotes higher level thinking to solve problems.  This will not mean buying new books!  I wanted to prepare parents and students for the change, so no one is worried when math homework and lessons begin to look a little different.  If you have any questions regarding this change please contact me!  Thanks- Mrs. Turner
