Superintendent Presents Message on the PWCS Balanced Approach to Mathematics  (March 7, 2008)
   Superintendent of Schools Dr. Steven L. Walts spoke at a School Board meeting on March 5 to outline his message of the balanced approach to
   teaching mathematics, including the use of the “Math Investigations” textbook series, for Prince William County Public Schools. In his message, the   
  Superintendent stated the School Division has a math curriculum that sets out what children should know and be able to do at every grade level. That curriculum,
  which is aligned with the Virginia Standards of Learning, has not changed.

Supervisor of Mathematics Carol Knight provides background information on the adoption of the textbook "Investigations in Number, Data, and Space" used to teach the PWCS Elementary math curriculum and shares resources for parents to help them effectively work with their students on Investigations assignments at home. 3rd Grade Lake Ridge Elementary Teacher Laura Oyhenart demonstrates Investigations lessons in her classroom. Viewers will also be taken inside a Math Investigations Parent Night, an event held at every elementary school to help parents better understand the Math Investigations program.
