Hackensack Mathematics & Business

Congratulations to our exceptional Hackensack High School students who have been accepted into the FDU Gildart Haase Python Scholars Program! Enjoy this exciting opportunity into the world of coding and innovation. @OatesParchment @HHSComets

HHS math teachers designed open questions and collaborated on different types of thinking tasks to use in their classes during our department meeting today. @robsanchez23 @OatesParchment @HHSComets #buildingthinkingclassrooms

Students were working on algebraic proofs today. Not only did they have to figure out the statements and reasons, but they had to explain their thinking to Ms. Hampson and Ms. Ensuncho before tackling the next proof. @robsanchez23 @OatesParchment @HHSComets

Ms. Spielberger's AP Macroeconomic students doing a socratic seminar on explaining the causes of the recent bank failure and how the government decided to fix the failure. @robsanchez23 @OatesParchment @HHSComets

Thank you to all our teachers! You go above and beyond every single day. We are grateful for your dedication and all that you do for our students. @HHSComets @HMSComets

Students in Mr. Brkovic and Mr. Ragone's class are working together to figure out who will win the race by applying the Pythagorean Theorem. @robsanchez23 @OatesParchment @HMSComets

HHS Math teachers reflecting on and discussing strategies they want to try from the book "Building Thinking Classrooms in Mathematics". @HHSComets @robsanchez23 @OatesParchment

Mr. Gaccione's students are tackling math tasks using vertical non-permanent surfaces. They were challenged with evaluating expressions with integers, representing contexts using equations, and writing and solving an equation from a description. @HMSComets

HMS teachers focused on the importance of planning with learning goals, synthesis pieces, and how to develop students’ conceptions in mind. Great discussions about instructional routines and ways to continue supporting and engaging our students! @HMSComets

Students in Ms. Carucci's class are solving multi-digit multiplication problems. Students are using number cubes and strategies to create their expressions in order to have the best chance of finding the greatest product. @robsanchez23 @OatesParchment @HMSComets
