Grade 5 math scores are showing a decrease in the provincial testing this year in District 8.
Superintendent Susan Tipper says with the lower scores the district is going to implement an aggressive approach to teaching numeracy.
Tipper says one of the approaches is hiring more staff.
Tipper says this "math attack" will not have any influence on how the district concentrates on teaching literacy.
The districts literacy scores showed an increase for this year.
