Many students in Integrated Math 1 classes across district are kicking off the new school year participating in SDUSD’s mathematics initiative, San Diego Enhanced Math (SDEM). SDEM starts with the curriculum most highly rated by EdReports, Illustrative Mathematics, and enhances it with additional projects, connections, and deeper and more complex problems to challenge students. Both teachers and students are excited to try on new instructional routines that get kids up and moving, talking, and digging deeper into the Common Core Standards. Warhawks, Tigers, Chieftains, and Pointers are taking on the challenge, and everyone is eager to learn with the new materials. Step One? Community Building Activities to foster a sense of belonging, acceptance, and trust in peers. Now that students have built solid working relationships, rigorous work lies ahead, and there’s no stopping their success!
