Mathematics
enVision Mathematics is used by Port Byron CSD in grades K-8. It is the only math program that combines problem-based learning and visual learning to deepen students’ conceptual understanding. enVision is used by classrooms across the country and around the world. The curriculum provides resources that allow teachers to assess students more efficiently and then differentiate appropriately. Because of Port Byron’s small class sizes, there is more time for small-group collaboration and instruction with faculty.
Curriculum Flow
Each day the enVision curriculum provides students with a three-step process to unpack a new concept.
- Step 1: Problem-Based Learning – This system helps students understand the concepts to solve real-world math. Teachers are empowered to provide instructional support that allows students to process and think rather than “spoon-feeding” concepts to them. It is healthy for students to struggle during this step, and they will also work in small groups to practice effective communication while working through the problems.
- Step 2: Visual Learning – When students struggle with a concept, models are introduced in the classroom to help them visualize the problem and have a better understanding. Lesson reminders on worksheets and interactive videos are used as a learning bridge to help students visualize and solve problems.
- Step 3: Assess & Differentiate – In each written activity, the teacher is prompted to assign three specific questions that will help them quickly identify each student’s level of comprehension. enVision math centers on quality over the number of problems, so parents may observe students completing a smaller number of problems that require higher-level thinking for homework rather than pages of drills.
