Hillside uses the Saxon Math program. This program is based on small increments of concepts with repetition and practice. Students are instructed on their instructional level.
Academic progress is monitored continuously to provide the best placement for each child. Appropriate classroom placement gives each student the opportunity to learn at a level that is challenging, yet provides opportunities to experience success.
Based on more than 25 years of measurable success and built upon the idea that learning is cumulative, the Saxon Math program features the following:
· Helps students to build a strong foundation in mathematics
· Provides a comprehensive, core math program, hands-on and enrichment activities, problem-solving and
performance tasks for all grade levels.
· Includes open-ended questions for students to practice justifying their reasoning and to illustrate that they
have learned the necessary skills and concepts.
Using Saxon Math, students work toward mastery in three ways: by reviewing, maintaining and building upon previously learned skills; through direct, explicit instruction of new content, mathematical thinking and vocabulary; and by applying, reinforcing and demonstrating cumulative learning.
