Congratulations Math Team Participants
We do a few unique things here at St. Paul’s to make mathematics a top priority for our students. Each day we reserve a chunk of time deemed “math block.” We all have math at the same time in order to allow students to move around and get instruction that is catered to their individual math needs.
Of all the subjects we teach, math is especially not a 'one size fits all' subject. Each student comes to our school with different backgrounds and finding the best fit mathematically is important to us. For instance, in the same grade we may have a student who gets extra one-on-one time from their teacher, and another student who goes to the middle school to take classes.
Another great math option we have is Math Team. This is a club that students in 3rd-8th grade can join, where they practice math skills and get to compete in competitions such as, the Whatcom County Math Championship.
Whether it is Math Team or Math Block, creating strong mathematicians is something we value.
