School board reviews math strategy

for all Ontario schools, from kindergarten to Grade 12 levels. The aims of the strategy are to increase student achievement and interest in math; increase the expertise of teachers in math- ematics, theory and practice, and also their own ability to teach students the intricacies of math; improve knowledge and under- standing of district math strategies and methods for school board members and administration, so they can better support teaching staff efforts; and also increase par- ental involvement in their children’s math studies.
The UCDSB version of the provincial strat- egy will involve reviewing and improving support for teaching staff with math study programs, and also determining which schools may be in need of “intensive sup- port” for their mathematics programs. The district will also schedule monthly Math Study Days for teaching staff, support a regional “math network” so teachers can share ideas, and also support special staff and administration training sessions in math instruction. Prior to Allen’s report, UCDSB trustees heard a verbal report from Russell High
School Principal Susan Rutters on the suc- cess at her school in improving student math and literacy skills. Rutters noted that 77 per cent of her students scored well in last term’s Grade 10 provincial literacy test. TRut- ters noted that the Grade 9 academic math provincial exam saw an 88 per cent success rate for Russell High School’s students. The applied math test, though, resulted in a 44 per cent success rate. School staff are now reviewing the results and developing their own strategy, using “real-life situations”, to help improve students’ ability with practical applications of mathematics.
One of Eastern Ontario’s school districts is reviewing its strategy for teaching mathe- matics to students. The Upper Canada District School Board (UCDSB) received a report, during its Oct. 12 session, from Superintendent Valerie Allen on plans for renewing and revising the strategy for teaching mathematics at district schools and thus improve student scoring on provincial exams. The strategy was de- veloped through the Ministry of Education
