Wes-Del approves continuing Vimemy Math program for students
Summary
The board approved continued use of the Vimemy Math program, a sequential instructional product with weekly testing and state-level leaderboards; the administration highlighted its rigor and classroom engagement features.
The Wes-Del board voted to continue the Vimemy Math program after an administrator described its structure and classroom benefits.
Administrators said the program is sequential and emphasizes mastery (four instructional days, a test on day five and a review), provides immediate scoring feedback to students and fuels in-school and regional competition through leaderboards. The presenter noted multiple regional districts already use the program.
Board members asked about how often leaderboard results are shared with students and the presenter said that frequent scores and classroom reporting create healthy academic competition and motivate students. The motion to approve continued use of the program passed by voice vote.
