| Fifteen students from Harvey Rice School were recognized by Mayor Frank G. Jackson and Councilpersons Kenneth Johnson (Ward 4) and Mamie Mitchell (Ward 6) for being # 1 in the nation for the “First In Math Program” during the 2011-2012 School Year. The students were accompanied by their Principal, Leon Rallings, and teachers, Ms. Rhonda Furlow and Mike Hughes.First In Math is an online program that offers comprehensive content ranging from single-step addition to complex algebra. This dynamic, proven program encourages students to practice through immediate feedback. Game-style activities ensure that students engage in active practice required for skill retention. Motivation is fueled by reinforcement in the form of electronic award stickers when students solve problems correctly. No penalties are levied for incorrect responses, and students become encouraged to take ownership of math learning and practice. |
