Mathematics
McGill provides Common Core math through its Houghton Mifflin Expressions (TK-3rd) and Go Math (3rd-5th) programs. Math manipulatives and school-to-life connections are saught for the internalization of math concepts.
​
To support the various mathematical concepts from number sense, to algebraic thinking and problem solving, we offer online math programs for students to practice their daily math skills. Our TK/K and 1st grade teachers use Sumdog.com, our second grade teacher uses Turtlediary.com, and 3rd-5th use Aleks and LeverEd.
Recognizing the dilemma of multiple programs, McGill is in the process of selecting one math curriculum to create a TK-5th grade continuum.
McGill assesses students with Renaissance STAR assessments four times a year to keep track of learning progress and need for Response to Intervention supports.
