To help your child’s understanding they will be building the following skills:  

• Make sense of problems and stick with it as they solve
• Think abstractly and quantitatively
• Learn to use an appropriate tool strategically.

• Look for patterns. 

 

Math parent pro tips to help your child:

• Let them have a productive struggle. This means they need to think it through and spend some time. Mathematicians don’t arrive at a solution quickly. They think about what they know, any patterns that they see, and they persevere.  
• Believe that your child can excel in mathematics!
• Questions/suggestions that you can use to help your child rather than giving them the answer. 
• Why? 
• Prove it? 
• What do you know?
• Act out the problem.
• Draw a picture.
• Visualize the problem.
