What does
MATH
look like at Connaught School?
One of Connaught teachers' favourite math instruction resources is by an author named Marian Small. Ms. Small has a website where she posts all her presentations and some important information about how kids learn math. Parents, you may be interested in this presentation about how math is taught in 2017, and some strategies you can use to help your child learn their "fast facts" (operations with small numbers, like 7x4=28, 8-4=4, 12+9=21, 40/5=8). There's also a very interesting "Math Norms" poster below put out by another wonderful math experts, Jo Boaler. What do you think? Does this look similar to how you learned math?
