About the Mathematics in This Unit
In our math class, students engage in math problems and activities and discuss the underlying concepts. They share their reasoning and solutions. It is important that children solve math problems accurately in ways that make sense to them. You can contribute at home by encouraging your child to explain her or his math thinking to you.
In the coming weeks, you will receive more information about the mathematics in this unit as well as suggested activities to do at home.
