Does GWA-Dubai have a Math curriculum?
Why don’t our kids work on Math?
Is GWA math’s programme as rigorous as other math programmes?
Is my child going to manage if I move them to another school system?

Our goals for Math in the PYP is for student to understand that math is:
1. A vehicle to support inquiry
2. A global language through which we make sense of the world
3. A way of thinking, as opposed to seeing it as a series of facts and equations to be memorized.
4. A tool for describing, analyzing and solving problems in our world

Our curriculum is referred to as our Math Scope & Sequence document.
A variety of textbooks and resources help teachers to plan, teach and assess against outcomes from the Scope & Sequence document.
The PYP emphasizes that teachers use a range and balance of teaching strategies, resources and assessment tools to create engaging, relevant and meaningful learning experiences for students.
MAP testing is our external validation

Whole group conceptual focus (Example: What is the difference?)
Small group focused instruction (Example: Connected to the conceptual understanding) Small group independent practice/consolidation (with
one group working with the teacher)
Feedback throughout that enables students to make adjustments to their learning
Informal assessment – observations, notes, student self-reflection at the end of lesson
