Making the Case for K-5

“If a student leaves second grade not knowing math, he leaves 12th grade not knowing math.”

Robert R….

What Do We Know?

Mathematics is the

gate keeper!

What Do We Know?

“If you have a problem with Algebra in your schools, you have to fix it in K-4.”

Kathy Richardson

What Do We Know?

“Using 6 longitudinal data sets,…….the results show that early math skills have the greatest predictive power (of future academic success), followed by reading and attention skills.”

Developmental Psychology 2007, Vol. 43

Research

By third grade nearly half the students still do not ‘get’ this

concept of place value..
