Sunshine Math is an enhancement program for grades K-5 and provides an extra challenge for self-motivated students in mathematics. Participation is optional, but then so is learning. An activity sheet is worked on by the students independently. Parents may read the problems aloud and help explain the problem, but should not answer the question. The goal is not to have the correct answer, but to engage the childs higher order thinking skills. If the child does not seem to know how to solve a problem then leave it blank. The objective of the program is to expand a student’s interest in independent thinking, teach responsibility, and develop critical thinking skills. The program is not meant to replace any aspect of school curriculum. Grades are not issued or recorded for this work; however, it will influence the teachers level of differentiation for the student. Start with Kindergarten (called Mercury) worksheets. Each grade level of worksheets is further broken down into smaller units. As the student completes each "section" they should turn it in ("In-Box"). There are K-5 worksheets located here in case you have other children in these higher grade levels.
