This resource provides clear, kid-friendly "I can" statements for grades K-6, aligned with the Common Core State Standards (CCSS) for math. Each statement is paired with the original standard wording and translations in both English and Spanish, making it accessible for dual-language classrooms. Teachers can use these statements to help students understand and track their progress in mastering key math concepts.
These math class norms, adapted from the California Mathematics Framework, are written in student-friendly language. They guide students on how to collaborate, share ideas, and respect each other’s thinking, helping create a positive and productive learning environment for math discussions.
Use these simple and effective discussion hand signals to help students engage in math conversations. These signals promote active participation, allow students to express their thoughts non-verbally, and facilitate smoother discussions during small group and whole-class math instruction.
Sharing student progress with parents in family data chats helps everyone work together to support learning. When teachers and parents talk about goals and how the student is doing in areas like reading and math, it keeps everyone on the same page. Setting goals together makes it easier to help the student keep improving and feel supported both at school and at home. This teamwork is a big step toward helping kids succeed!
