=== We will be using Mimio Interactive + Capture for mathematics instruction in grades K-6. North Cedar Elementary School will collect data from two sections of fourth grade and provide an analysis of the data after utilizing the Mimio Interactive + Capture. Cedar Falls has a district goal that 90.4% of all 4th graders will be poficient in math. 69.4% of our current fourth graders who have been at North Cedar for a full academic year (FAY) are proficient in math. Iowa Tests of Basic Skills testing indicate that students need to work on problem solving and data interpretation. Through the use of pre/post-testing, individualized instruction at their level, and Mimio Interactive + Capture instruction, students will meet the goal. === ===Direct instruction will be modeled through the use of Mimio Interactive + Capture. Students will have the opportunity to see and work with multiple representations of the concepts they are working on. The gradual release model will be utilized by classroom teachers as well as classroom associates and special education teachers who will co-teach instruction. This instruction will be during large group as well as small groups functioning in Daily 3 math time.===
