Introducing First In Math (FIM)
FIM Bob Sun
We want to create mathematically proficient students!
FIM is a curriculum supplement that gives students the fundamental skills they need to achieve their academic goals. It delivers fluency in basic addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division, while advancing higher-order thinking skills such as mental math, problem-solving, pattern sensing, reasoning and number sense through deep practice. This year we are using FIM as our FORMATIVE ASSESSMENT. This SMORE will guide you through every step you need to be successful and reach your goals.
