[quote=Anonymous][b]Wiley Bates Middle School in Annapolis is known for its performing and visual arts magnet program, but the school has now scored big points for how well students performed on the PARCC high school level Algebra one test.

"It's pretty much what I would say is the old-fashioned Algebra," teacher Kristi Giuliano said.

At Bates, 92.2 percent of students scored in the 4 and 5 category, with 5 being the very best and 4 considered meeting expectations. The school's Algebra 1 teacher said success is not accidental.

"I do a lot of redo assessments. They do daily quizzes. They appreciate that feedback and its skilled-based learning so that's what we do," math teacher Kristi Giuliano said.[/b]

Watch the video, she is actually WRITING on a white board as opposed it using a Promethian board to flash up problems and answers.

MCPS should take notice, this is how to get kids to do well in math.  Go back to basic teaching![/quote]
