Numeracy We are using the Harcourt-Brace Mathematics program adopted by the school district. This program covers state and district standards in the areas of the number concept, computation, problem solving, critical thinking, algebra, geometry, spatial relationships, time and money. We also use a program called Bridges that applies mathematical reasoning into games and activities. These programs will also be supplemented with games, activities and projects that I have used over the years to give children opportunities to use what they have learned in real life situations. Our goal is to give each child the confidence and the tools necessary to be successful mathematicians. You can help support your childıs mathematical knowledge by giving her or him opportunities to use their skills at home. Playing card games (i.e. go fish, 21, addition war) and board games (i.e. Checkers, Chutes and Ladders, Trouble, Connect Four) will help them with their thinking and counting skills. Asking them math problems while driving in the car, on a walk or in the bath will help them with their basic math facts. Encourage them to use their fingers or other objects to help them find the answer. Mental math games (i.e. 20 questions, I Spy, estimation) and other activities such as doing puzzles, building objects and cooking will also contribute to helping your child to think mathematically. The more you can get your child thinking mathematically, the better. |
