MATHEMATICS AT CASTILLEJA

Our curriculum is designed to support students in improving their computational skills, extending their conceptual understanding, and enhancing their problem-strategizing abilities. In class, students engage in individual and collaborative problem-solving as they solidify and extend core mathematics skills, explore underlying principles, and discover connections among topics. We encourage our students to discuss, explore, and compare alternative approaches to solving a problem, to promote critical thinking, and to leverage the wide variety of student strengths in the class.

The Mathematics Resource position involves collaborating with teachers and supporting students for 16 hours/week during the school day and running an after-school tutorial 2 times a week. This resource teacher will work with individual students and small groups both inside and outside the math classroom to provide foundational support and targeted practice, as well as extensions and enrichment. They will be responsive to students’ needs and will support students as they develop mathematical understanding, engage in problem-solving and mathematical reasoning, and form a positive math identity with a greater sense of agency. As part of supporting students and teachers, the resource teacher will maintain the student-facing Math Resource Toddle page with materials and may also assist in logistics like creating worksheets, designing mathematical extensions, proctoring exams, and tracking data. This person will work closely with the Math Department Lead and report to the Upper School Head.
