iReady Math

Introduction

Your child is learning math in a program that connects hands-on exploration to thinking, doing, and talking about math with other children every day. The program uses a variety of activities and supports to help children discover math all around us!

During math time, your child will use concrete objects—even their own fingers—when they count and compare quantities, explore shapes and structures, and measure. Children will also explain their mathematical ideas to others and show what they know in different ways. 

I am excited to support your child’s mathematical development this year. On a regular basis, I hope you will talk to your child about what is happening during math time in school. Encourage creative thinking by asking your child to help solve problems at home and be sure to look for the Family Letters I will send home regularly. These letters connect to different math topics we will study in class and offer fun math activities you can do at home.

Making connections between home and school is important to your child’s learning. Thank you for your partnership!
