 
Math Wings was developed at Johns Hopkins University. It presents a balance of solid mathematical conceptual development, problem solving in real world situations and maintenance of necessary mathematical skills. The program is founded on the belief that all students should not only be given the opportunity to establish a solid foundation in mathematics, but also the opportunity to extend and stretch their knowledge and experience. Therefore it is structured to accommodate a diversity of ability, mathematical knowledge and world experience. All students, regardless of their background skills, participate in the whole class exploration of concepts. Individual students then refine or accelerate their skills using individualized units tailor-made to fit their own needs and completed at their own pace. Each class follows a routine that provides every student with the knowledge of what to expect, mastery from repeated practice and support derived from whole class participation. |
