About the Mathematics in This Unit

Benchmarks/Goals	Examples

In class, students engage in math problems and activities. They are frequently asked to share their thinking about a given problem. What is most important is that children accurately solve math problems in ways that make sense to them. At home, encourage your child to explain the math thinking that supports those solutions. In the coming weeks, you will receive more information about our work in this unit as well as suggestions for activities to do at home.
