This year all of CHVE will be using a new math program called Bridges. This is an excellent program that we are excited to share with you and your kids.
Click here for extra information about Bridges. This page will answer such questions as, how will my child learn basic math facts? How can I help my child at home? And how is Bridges different than other math programs?
Click here to go to the Bridges page that has extra math practice. It includes math books along with several math websites and apps.
Here are some ways parents can help their kids connect and practice math in “real life.”
- Have your child count down the time (weeks, days and/or hours) to a special day or holiday
- Have your child measure ingredients for a recipe you are making
- Encourage your child to track or graph scores or stats for a favorite sports team
- Ask your child to count the change at the grocery store, or to estimate the total cost while you are shopping. Or, with older kids, to help track the family budget.
- Explain what you’re doing whenever you use a measuring tape, a scale, or a ruler. Ask for your child’s help.
