Parent Math Academy - December 11, 2014

Math instruction today is different from what most parents experienced.  In order to provide our parents with information on current instructional approaches and strategies, we will be offering a Math Academy for Parents once a month.  For your convenience, there will be two sessions to choose from:  a morning session from 9:00-10:00 am and an evening session from 5:00-6:00 pm.  We value your time, so these sessions will be limited to one hour, and we will cover what we think is most relevant based on current instruction in the classroom.

We will spend the first half-hour with overall information, and we will break into groups by grade level for the second half-hour.  The overall session for our first Parent Math Academy will be on the importance of the area model in developing conceptual understanding.  The breakout segments are: 3rd grade - Multiplication Fact Fluency, 4th Grade - Long Division, and 5th Grade - Multiplying Fractions.  

Our goal with the Parent Math Academy is to provide parents with important information and a better understanding of the concepts and strategies being taught in the classroom.  We hope to see you there!
