Elementary Math Parent Resources
Introduction
- Make sense of problems and persevere in solving them.
- Reason abstractly and quantitatively.
- Construct viable arguments and critique the reasoning of others.
- Model with mathematics.
- Use appropriate tools strategically.
- Attend to precision.
- Look for and make use of structure.
- Look for and express regularity in repeated reasoning.
- Draw a picture explaining your solution.
- Make a physical model using manipulatives or other objects explaining your solution.
- Write a note to a friend explaining your solution.
- Turn to a partner and explain your solution.
- Create a real-world problem which is similar to your problem. Attempt to solve your problem using a different method.
- Lessons need to link the following ideas in students' heads: the concrete, pictorial, and abstract approaches to a mathematical concept.
- Students need to be able to visualize a problem.
- Students should all be engaged in thinking about problem solving.
- Utilizes Read, Draw, Write as the foundation for problem solving.
- Reflex Math
- Students work independently on basic math facts. For this database, contact Dr. Nesbitt and ask to be invited as a teacher. You will set up your class by selecting your students. Once students are in your class, they can work at their own pace to work on basic math skills.
- Students log in to this by typing their teacher's username, selecting themselves in the class, and using their password, which is fords followed by their student number. For example, if their student number is 12345, their password would be fords12345.
