Becket Washington recently adopted the Envisions Math Program to ensure that math instruction is closely aligned to the Common Core Curriculum Standards. This program of study emphasizes math reasoning and problem solving to assist our students in becoming better mathematical thinkers. Students in grades K-2 will use workbooks to practice mathematical skills and concepts and students in grades 3-5 will work from a hard cover text.
