New Richmond High School math teachers Vicky Corpuz and Carla Corbin and New Richmond Middle School math teacher Andrew Helton are writing the new Math 9 course of study to meet the integrated approach to mathematics which is an option in the new Common Core State Standards.
The new standards allow an integration of Algebra I & II and Geometry over a three year/three credit program rather than discrete math offerings in separate courses.
“This approach will involve more problem solving, student interaction, deeper studies of concepts and use of portable laptop computer labs in each classroom,” noted John Frye, Director of Student and Staff Services for the New Richmond Exempted Village School District.
“The interactive classroom is designed to include less direct instruction and more discovery learning by students.”
