Title 1 Math Teacher Comment

Speaking with the Title 1 math teachers, we were conversing how the students were doing.  She informed me that she was impressed with how my students were able to think through problems and actually solved the problems.  An example,  a student was given a multiplication word problem.  The students have not been taught about multiplication nor have the studied their facts.  The students were able to draw out the problem and were able to solve the problem.  She stated that most 3rd grade students in her other classes just gave up on the problems.
