Universal Access

Our primary focus will be to (1) develop foundational skills in Math; (2) reinforce what is being taught in Math; (3) provide opportunities for extension and acceleration in Math.

This will be accomplished by preparing activities that focus on skills that will review, enhance, or maintain students understanding of math concepts.
