Local students need more help in Math

The Keewatin-Patricia District School Board says it needs to spend more time focusing on math.

Recent EQAO results show that marks for grade 3, grade 6 and grade 9 students were down overall.

Superindentant of Education Sean Monteith says not everyone is doing badly in math.

Monteith adds that math marks for grade three and six students not only declined
locally, but right across the province.
