Math in Focus Parent Informational Night

Approximately 80 parents attended the Math in Focus Parent Night at Fuller Meadow School last night.  The presentation included the philosophy behind the program, specific examples of how concepts are taught and how parents can support their children at home. 

Some suggestions that were made include:

·         Resist the urge to “show how”

·         Ask questions that probe at meaning

·         Allow children to struggle

·         Encourage persistence

·         Praise effort

·         Set the timer (for the allotted time for math homework)
