MATH
Math rules! Math Common Core requires more of our students. They are expected to know their basic facts, namely addition and subtraction. Our new series Everyday Math 2015 is constructed to allow students to explore numbers more in depth, ultimately having a greater concept of numbers (The 2015 updated version will complete our work in nine versus the former 12 units and will provide math writing opportunities.) There are several suggestions that I recommend.
- Complete all homework ("Home Links"). This is very important because it reinforces important concepts that you may share with your child.
- Review math every night.
- Find a quiet place to complete or review math work.
- Study the basic facts.
- Use flashcards to increase ability. Students should master the facts and not rely on fingers for counting. Use the online stopwatch if you like.
- Utilize the links for practice.
