MUSD has officially adopted a new math curriculum, Eureka Math2. This program "enhances learning through clear, concise content that fosters deep, lasting math knowledge. It cultivates confident learners and empowers both teachers and students to rise to every challenge and reach their full potential." We are excited to go through this new program together this year to enhance your childs learning and understanding through mathematics.
IXL will also be available again this year (yay!) and it works directly with our math program. Teachers are able to "star" concepts to focus on. Additionally, when students are stuck on a skill, they should use the help button to back the skill down to a place they can understand and rebuild it or ask for help.
Finally, if you are interested in more online practice, check out the website Math Is Fun for free interactive math games!
Most importantly, we want to build a supportive environment, where students can share their ideas and ask for help when they need it.
Below are links to helpful resources that are free and full of support for students and parents. Use these in addition to assigned work for the week to help hone your math skills! Click the buttons below to go to these helpful websites.
Graham Fletcher is an amazing math specialist who shows the connections in common core ideas. He makes it all make sense. These videos are fairly short and are really helpful to understand what students have learned and where they are going.
