Math does seem to be everywhere. We encounter math constantly in our lives: calculating how much paint we will need for a room, figuring out if we have enough money to buy that shirt on sale, and the list goes on.
In our classroom, we've been working with extra diligence on math, and in particular real-world problems. We will continue this week as we prepare for a math test on Chapter 2 on Friday. But how can you study "math"? Practice, practice, and some more practice. Tell your student about situations that you come across everyday that required using math, and talk with them about how you solved it. How might they have solved the same problem?
Remember, too, that our math text book is available on line. Students can visit www-k6.thinkcentral.com to view the book and work through some of the guided practice problems that we did in class. Please email me if you need additional information on how to sign in to the website. Also, math help is available every Tuesday morning with Mrs. Steinberg. I will also be having extra help sessions on Friday mornings (this is a change from my last post because of scheduling conflicts). I also encourage you to attend the Math in Focus presentation scheduled for this evening in Middleton.
Have a math kind of day!
