Thank you to those who were able to participate in the math presentation and spend time engaging in math with students. Classrooms were buzzing with enthusiasm, and there was widespread pride as we shared our learning. Three big ideas were covered in the presentation: an overview of our Bridges math program, recent brain research related to how we learn math, and powerful information about growth mindset as it relates to math. (Click here for the presentation with links.)
Parents, remember these tips:
1. Play math games and puzzles
2. Ask questions, listen and say yes (find the logic in your student's thinking)
3. Build number sense
4. Model a growth mindset
5. Continue to partner with us
