PBL QuestionAmerica ranks below many other countries in math performance, and our 6th grade math data shows that our students are not retaining what they learn over extended periods of time.
Students in 6th grade need a way to remember the concepts they're currently learning in math long after they have learned them by developing strategies to move their learning from short term into long term memory so that they are able to recall it at a later date. |
