Title 1 Math Lab

The Title I Math Lab program gives students an opportunity to practice and improve their math skills in a small group setting.  Our primary objectives are to develop students’ study skills, to improve their success in the regular math class, and to increase students’ scores on the PSSA.  Each group will meet three times per cycle to meet these goals. We will focus on the following activities/lessons each cycle:

¨ Study Island:  Students will work independently on this online standards-based program which provides instruction and practice designed to improve test scores.

¨ Study skills/review:  We will review and practice study skills (ie. note-taking, listening, and test-preparation).  During this period, students will also review important math skills (ie. facts, problem-solving, and fraction operations)

¨ Curriculum-based instruction:  This period will be dedicated to helping students complete homework and/or prepare for tests in their regular math class.

 *  Connection Activities: Each grade will be working on making connections to "real-life" mathematics. 8th grade will be learning about exchange rates and the stock market; 7th grade will be discovering the math in sports statistics and in purchasing a car; and 6th grade will be practicing all types of money skills.
