We completed our second Parent Math Academy on January 13th. We will continue to offer these sessions each month. We had a special treat this month, because several of our 4th grade students participated in a Number Talk for parents. They did a fabulous job!
Please click on the following links to access the presentation materials used in our sessions:
Overview Session: Number Talks
3rd Grade Break-out Session: Conceptual Understanding of Fractions
4th Grade Break-out Session: Fractions & Division, Using Benchmark Fractions, and Multiplying Fractions by a Whole Number
5th Grade Break-out Session: Dividing Fractions & Decimals
Our next Parent Math Academy will be on Tuesday, February 17th. The morning session is from 9:00-10:00 and the evening session is from 5:00-6:00. We hope to see you there!
The math classroom today looks different from what many of us remember. One of the most important goals is that students learn how to think. Research reveals that in addition to math content, critical thinking, communication, collaboration, and creativity are skills we should develop in students. This translates to the Paine Intermediate math classroom through real-world problems, exchange of ideas, numerical flexibility, development of conceptual knowledge and procedural fluency.
