In our math class, students engage in math problems and activities and discuss the underlying concepts. They are asked to share their reasoning and solutions. It is important that children solve math problems accurately in ways that make sense to them. At home, encourage your child to explain his or her math thinking to you. In the coming weeks, you will receive more information about Building Numbers and Solving Story Problems as well as activities to do at home.
