TWO SUBJECTS. SO MANY CONNECTIONS.
Hello, I'm Ms. Codi.
I teach fifth through eighth grade Math and History at James Madison Charter Academy. Welcome to our corner of the JMCA community!
Explore the subjects below and find helpful ways to stay connected throughout the school year.
DISCOVER · CONNECT · UNDERSTAND
Two paths to big discoveries.
MAKE SENSE OF THE NUMBERS
Math: think it through.
Patterns, numbers, and relationships offer new ways to solve problems. Explaining a strategy can be just as valuable as finding an answer.
Ask questions, show your thinking, and give yourself room to try another approach.
LOOK BACK. THINK FORWARD.
History: explore the story.
People, places, and events help us understand how the world has changed. Historical sources invite us to look closely and consider different perspectives.
Ask who created a source, what it tells us, and what questions it leaves unanswered.
LEARNING CONNECTIONS AT HOME
Keep the conversation going.
- Talk through a strategy. Ask your child to explain how they approached a problem.
- Look for everyday math. Compare prices, adjust a recipe, or estimate travel time together.
- Explore a piece of history. Look at an old photograph, map, or family story and ask what it reveals.
- Celebrate the process. Notice persistence, thoughtful questions, and a willingness to revise an idea.
