Our Family Math Night was well attended and we couldn't be happier! It was amazing to see business partners and local universities sharing how they use math in the real world. Even our very own School Way Cafe was there teaching students how important measurement is in the cafeteria. We tried to video every session and we are working to put them on this blog so students, teachers, and families can watch over and over again. Maybe you didn't get to make it to every session you wanted to or maybe there was a strategy you want to review-this is the place for you. We want to make sure to thank you amazing teachers, the ones leading the sessions and so many more behind the scenes so thank a CCE teach for being a fabulous mathematician! We also want to thank Futures Foundation because with their generous support each family was able to leave with manipulatives and notes to review. Thank you to Volusia County Schools under Dr. Smith, our School Board, and our Area Superintendent Mrs. Vickie Presley for their continued support.
Here is a video on Mental Math. Our focus is for children to vocalize strategies to obtain the sum or difference in problems. We are not focusing on memorization because strategies will help children when they encounter larger numbers. Watch as Make 10, compensation, and recomposition are introduced during the Primary Mental Math session.
