What is Math Workshop? |
Our teachers have been using the Math Workshop model to help students build strong math skills and a positive mindset toward learning. This approach is creating a classroom community where students feel safe to share their ideas, take risks, and explore their thinking with others.
The Math Workshop framework includes:
-
Engaging Math Tasks that promote curiosity and critical thinking
-
Open-ended Problem Solving to encourage multiple strategies and solutions
-
Small-group Instruction that allows for targeted support and differentiation
-
Student Choice to empower learners and build ownership of their learning
-
Ongoing Practice of key concepts and skills to support mastery over time
Example of 2nd grade Math Task during math workshop where students are given different number choices to solve.
Math Workshop structure not only helps students grow mathematically—it also builds confidence, independence, perseverance and a love of learning.
 Staff and students are welcome to dress up as their favorite book character at school.
 Join us for BINGOween on October 24, 2025.
Are you loving the recent renovation of our school building?
We are, thanks to voters like you!
These beautiful updates were NOT funded through the annual FCPS operating budget. School building construction and renovations are funded by bonds, which are approved by voters!
On November 4, a new bond will be on your Election Day ballot. Learn more about how school bonds impact our community at fcps.edu/bond.
What Will the 2025 Bond Referendum on the November Ballot Fund?
The $460M bond referendum on the November ballot is expected to fund the next stages of several ongoing projects, as well as others referenced in the Capital Improvement Program (CIP).
The building and renovation of our schools is not funded through the division’s operating budget. Voter-approved bonds allow payment for these projects over time. Read more about the 2025 Bond Referendum. Learn more about registering to vote. Make a plan to vote by Tuesday, November 4.

As a reminder, FCPS will hold two sets of community boundary review meetings this fall — one in September and another in October. Each set of meetings will focus on two pyramids per meeting.
All September meetings will include an overview of where FCPS is in the comprehensive boundary review process, an opportunity to take the School Start Times Survey, the ways community input is informing the process, and next steps in the boundary review process.
The meeting for our pyramid will be held [insert event information for your pyramid]. Please register by clicking “in person” or “virtual,” depending on how you would like to participate.
Child care for in-person participants and language interpretation/translation for all participants will be available as needed.
Visit the FCPS website for a full list of meeting dates and information about the October meetings. There is a meeting on Tuesday, September 30, 6:30-7:30 p.m. at Edison High School, at Edison High School (In Person or Virtual)
