Hoosac Valley Hopes New Math Program Boosts Scores

By Tammy Daniels iBerkshires Staff
CHESHIRE, Mass. — The Hoosac Valley School Committee approved a new math curriculum on Monday at the urging of teachers. 
 
After a yearlong pilot, the Grades kindergarten through 8 will switch to McGraw Hill's Reveal Math. The schools had been using Great Minds' Eureka and its Math 2 program was part of the pilot.
 
"The current Eureka program is not meeting the needs of the students and trying to teach math every day ... it's like trying to herd a corral of cats that roll around in oil and feathers," said third-grade teacher Kim Trimarchi to laughter. "I was a Eureka fan ... now I couldn't wait for it to be done. 
 
"We want to be able to teach math. There's a giant focus on really building thinking classrooms and moving away from teacher-directed and Eureka does not do it ... it is in no way child friendly."
 
Fewer than half the students are meeting math expectations on the Massachusetts Comprehensive Assessment System and none are exceeding, based on the most recent data. 
 
Kristen Palatt, director of curriculum, said there's no reason that Hoosac students should not be meeting expectations. 
 
"It would be not crazy to expect 75 to 85 percent of our students to meet expectations on the MCAS," she told the School Committee. "We want to see alignment between the number of students getting As in their classes in school and meeting expectations on the MCAS. So I think 75 to 85 percent would be reasonable and attainable."
