PTAA instruction is Data Driven. The results from our formative assessments truly identify student knowledge gaps and areas of strength, so students are set on the right path, right out of the gate. Math concepts are taught with a concrete\u2013pictorial\u2013abstract learning progression through real-world, hands-on experiences requiring an extra step more than would be used in most American classrooms. Students are taught how to use model drawing to solve those word problems, diagramming the elements of the problem.<\/p>
