Walter Reed School students are involved in inquiry within a structured math, science and technology program geared to fostering critical thinking and problem solving. Teachers focus on building basic skills that prepare students for future activities in mathematical reasoning, number and numeration, operations and measurements. Second graders focus on building basic skills that prepare students for future activities in mathematical reasoning, number and numeration, operations and measurements. Real world settings, hands-on activities, and manipulatives are used frequently. Students are required to verbalize and provide written explanations of how answers were derived as required on the state mathematics assessment. In science teacher plan and work together on each grade level topic in order to provide the students with both concept material and hands-on exploration using these concepts.
