1. Math at Home

2. Expectations for Students
What’s the shift?
What will students have to do?
Build skills across grade levels
Keep building on learning year after year
Learn more about less
Spend more time on fewer concepts
Use math facts easily
Go more in-depth on each concept
Think fast AND solve problems
(conceptual understanding and procedural fluency)
Spend time practicing by doing lots of problems on
the same idea
Really know it, really do it
Make the math work, and understand why it does
Talk about why the math works
Prove that they know why and how the math works
Use math in the real world
Apply math in real world situations
Know which math skills to use for which situation

“I started at 642 and added 279
in parts. First, I added 200 to
649 and got Then I added 70 to 842 and got I added 9 to 912 and got 921.
So, = 921.”

What can parents do to help?
Be aware of what your child struggled with last year and how that will affect ongoing learning
Know what the priority work is for
your child at their grade level
Spend time with your child on priority work
Push your child to know, understand
and memorize basic math facts
Know all of the fluencies your child
should have
Prioritize learning the fluencies your
child finds most difficult
Ask questions and review homework
to see whether your child understands why as well as what the answer is
Provide time for your child to work on math skills at home
Ask your child to do the math that
comes up in daily life
