Behind the Scenes: Developing practical and relevant math education at KS Hawaiʻi

This summer, Alaukawai 18, our Mathematics Task Force, convened to begin work on personalized HCBE competency-based learning through the design of the K-12 competencies. This year, the goal is to build students' understanding of the competencies by designing learning experiences. In November, we had our first Hale Kumu as a mathematics kauhale focused on using observational data to determine opportunities of growth as a K-12 program. Through our collective inquiry, we identified agency and relevancy as key areas of opportunities to strengthen pedagogical practices for our mathematics competency work.
