CCSS Parents are our Partners
The new Common Core State Standards make several important changes to the current standards.One of these changes is that your child will gain and understanding not only of the "hows", but also the "whys" of mathematics. All too often, we only ask that our children know the steps involved in solving a problem. This how is important, of course. But now students are also asked to "dig deeper" so they understand why a particular concept or strategy works the way it does, solidifying their foundation in basic math skills. On tests, students may be asked to show their work, including an explanation of how they arrived at the answers.
As you check homework or help your children with math lessons at home, remember to discuss with them both the steps that you use in solving a problem and why each step matters. A good way to do this is to show your child what happens if a step is skipped.
In visiting with your child's math teacher, ask what concepts your child has mastered as well as those your child has yet to grasp. Your teacher may be able to suggest additional strategies you can use at home to help your children with those concepts. By spending just a bit of extra time working with your children, you will help them build a strong foundation in the fundamentals of mathematics that will serve them well all the way to graduation.
