Integrated Math 3

I am very excited for the upcoming school year! I would like this to be a great year in math for your son or daughter. Mathematics is increasingly necessary to be successful in nearly every job or profession. The skills learned this year will be part of your child’s preparation for college and career readiness.

This year the Grossmont Union High School District will be using the CPM curriculum for Integrated Math 3. Go to http://cpm.org/parent-support for more information. There is a parent section where you will find information about the design of the course, its research base, parent guides, homework help and much more. The classes are structured to actively involve every student in the process of learning mathematics. The problem-based lessons provide a balance of basic skills, conceptual understanding, and problem solving strategies. Each lesson has a mathematical objective and focuses on one or more of the mathematical practices. Homework (the “Review and Preview” sections) practice ideas from the current chapter and previous topics, but spread the practice over several days and weeks so that students have time to become proficient with ideas and skills. The course contains all of the content and practice standards from the California Common Core State Standards in Mathematics.

The most successful students are those who take responsibility for progress with their learning. Parents can help their child build her/his self-motivation and develop good study habits, such as promptly doing homework, studying for tests/quizzes, taking notes during class, and constantly reviewing the course material. Encourage your child to ask for help if he/she is having difficulty. Read the “Note to Students” together. It follows the table of contents in the textbook.

Parents and the family are an integral part in the success of a student’s education. I appreciate the time and support you will be giving your student this year. I look forward to working with you and your child towards his/her academic success and personal growth.
