When working on word problems, have your child draw a picture of each sentence. Comprehension of the words is very important. When they get the answer, have them label the answer with a word after it. Ex. 45 balls 2 pieces of pie
Best use of computer time to help your child at school with math:
i-Ready - Your child knows how to find it and knows how to log in. This is our school program and helps students fill gaps in math learning based on their last i-Ready Diagnostic score. Diagnostics are how we determine growth.
Remember, the public library is a great place to use a computer.
