At Grovetown Elementary, LaTonia Grant uses examples tied to everyday spending to help students see how addition, multiplication and division can work together—and how one operation can check another.
Grant teaches a Gifted and Talented class spanning grades 2 through 5. She said her small groups draw from third grade, where she combines repeated addition, multiplication and division in math enrichment activities. She also teaches science, social studies and reading in the groups.
Grant said collaboration with the school team helps staff understand what each student needs and support their learning. Working together, she said, helps staff stay aligned on those needs and accelerate students’ learning.
Grant hopes students will return to the community as successful people who contribute positively, she said.
