Silverton Elementary School has announced the launch of its Math Academy, a Tier 2 intervention program aimed at providing targeted math support to students in small groups. The program is designed to offer engaging and hands-on lessons to help students strengthen their math skills and increase their confidence.

“Through hands-on learning and personalized support, the Math Academy ignites a passion for learning, while empowering students to embrace mathematical challenges to achieve their fullest potential,” stated Principal Williams.

This year, the initiative will be piloted with students in grades 2 and 6. The first session, "Math Academy Match Day," will involve an interactive event where students are paired with small group leaders from the local community. These pairings aim to provide personalized support and create a collaborative learning environment.

“As the Math Academy grows, our hope is for this School and Community Initiative to become a model program, inspiring educators and students alike to reimagine what is possible in math education,” added Principal Williams.

The Math Academy seeks to offer additional support for students who may require more individualized attention in mathematics. It encourages active participation, problem-solving, and critical thinking while ensuring that learning remains enjoyable.

Updates on Silverton's efforts to innovate and support student success through this new initiative will be forthcoming.
