    The Adams School in the Waterford School District created a School Improvement Action Plan to improve math problem solving skills in division for 4th and 5th graders. Pre-test data showed that 85% of students could not solve division word problems. The plan's goal was for 80% of students to demonstrate proficiency in division problem solving. Over several months, teachers would administer assessments, teach traditional and partial division algorithms, the inverse relationship between division and multiplication, related vocabulary, and real-world problem solving contexts. Strategies included small groups, manipulatives, and peer mentoring. The intended outcome was improved performance on a summative assessment.

    School Improvement Action Plan


    School:

    Adams Date: 1/27/11

    Goal: Students will improve math problem solving skills.


    Statement of Gap: 85% of students were unable to solve mathematical situations involving division.
