What Are We Learning in Math?
8/31/2026
Hello first grade families,
This week, we are building the foundation for our new math curriculum. Students are learning how math can be used to solve real-life problems and exploring what makes something a math problem. We are also practicing explaining our thinking and reasoning as we solve problems. Learning to communicate mathematical ideas is an important skill that will help students develop a deeper understanding of math throughout the year.
At-Home Connection:
Look for opportunities to talk about math in everyday life. Ask your child questions such as, "How many plates do we need for dinner?" or "How many more apples do we need to have six?" Encourage them to explain how they figured out their answer. Talking through their reasoning helps strengthen problem-solving skills and mathematical thinking.
