Textbook:

Materials: Pencil and eraser

Supply Fee: $20 per year

Class Description: This class is loosely based on Math-u-See and an extension of the math students are working on at home. It is designed to deepen understanding of key concepts using manipulatives, movement, songs, and games!

Throughout the year, we will be focusing on various mathematical concepts and understanding the importance of math in our daily lives. Concepts will include telling time, counting money, addition, subtraction, shapes, measurement and reading graphs.

Each week will consist of learning a new topic and an activity to follow.

I look forward to exploring these concepts together while having fun!
