Dear Families,
I'm writing to share some important information about our math program and to ask for your support in helping our students succeed.
Currently, up to 80% of our students are below proficient in math. The Arizona Assessment of State Standards (AASA) test covers five crucial domains, and without a strong foundation in number sense and numeracy, our students will struggle to pass this important assessment.
To address this challenge, we've implemented a two-week spiraling math review program. Here's what you need to know:
1. **Spiraling Curriculum**: This approach is designed to build mastery, number sense, and numeracy in a logical way. By practicing older skills repeatedly, students reinforce their understanding of:
The five domains covered in the Arizona Academic Standards Assessment (AASA) math assessment for grades 3–5 are: operations and algebraic thinking, numbers in base 10, fractions, measurement and data, and geometry
- Basic operations
- Different methods of subtraction
- Place value and overall number sense
2. **Mr. Taylor's 777 Math Review**: Each day, students will complete:
- 7 problems below grade level
- 7 problems at grade level
- 7 problems above grade level
3. **Flipped Classroom Approach**:
- Students work on problems at home on Monday
- In class, we focus on questions and in-depth understanding
- Teachers model problem-solving on the board
4. **How You Can Help**:
- Encourage your child to attempt all problems at home
- If they struggle, remind them it's okay - they'll have a chance to ask questions in class
- Help them identify which problems they find challenging, so they know what to ask about
5. **In-Class Expectations**:
- Students should come prepared with questions
- Active participation and attention during teacher explanations is crucial
- In my classroom, asking questions is highly valued and encouraged
6. **Student Responsibility**:
- Students need to advocate for themselves
- They should take ownership of their learning
- Finding their "why" and purpose in understanding math is key to success
With this approach, we believe we can significantly improve our math proficiency rates. However, success requires a partnership between school and home. Your support and encouragement are vital in helping your child develop a positive attitude towards math and a commitment to their own learning.
Thank you for your support and partnership in your child's education.
Sincerely,
Mr. Taylor
4th Grade Math Teacher Introduction to Mr. Taylor’s 777 Math Review
Welcome to Mr. Taylor’s 777 Math Review! This review is designed to help you prepare for the Arizona Assessment of State Standards (AASA) in math. Each day, you’ll work on 7- 21 on problems: 7 that are a bit easier, 7 that are just right for your grade level, and 7 that are a bit more challenging.
In our flipped classroom model, you’ll start by working on these problems at home on Monday. Do as much as you can, and don’t worry if you get stuck. When you come back to class, we’ll work on these problems together during math lab, using Kagan's cooperative learning strategies. This way, you can get help from your classmates and me, Mr. Taylor. Let’s get started!

Mr. Taylor's 377 Math Review for 4th Grade AASA
Welcome to Mr. Taylor's 377 Math Review! This special review is designed to help you prepare for the Arizona Assessment of State Standards (AASA) math test. Here's what you need to know:
1. **What does 777 mean?** Each day, you'll have:
- 3 problems below 4th grade level
- 7 problems at 4th grade level
- 7 problems above 4th grade level
2. Flipped Classroom: This is part of a flipped classroom approach. Here's how it works:
- Try to solve as many problems as you can at home.
- If you get stuck, don't worry! Just do your best.
- In class, we'll work on challenging problems during Math Lab.
- You'll work with your teacher and your Kagan cooperative learning groups to solve tricky questions.
3. For Parents: We appreciate your support! Here are some tips:
- Encourage your child to try each problem independently first.
- If they're stuck, ask them to explain what they understand about the problem.
- Guide them with questions rather than giving answers directly.
- Remember, it's okay if they don't finish all problems - that's part of the learning process!
