CCSS Mathematics:
 “Construct viable arguments and critique the reasoning of

others.”
(Standards for Mathematical Practice #3)

 “Attend to precision.”
(Standards for Mathematical Practice #6)


Slide 23

Math instruction must be “balanced” with
equal attention given to all three components

Conceptual
Understanding

Procedural
Fluency

Application &
Modeling


Slide 24

New in EGUSD
Teachers will be engaged in identifying potential new K6 ELA/ELD instructional materials for implementation

How Can I Help My Child at Home?
 Praise children for making an effort and encourage
perseverance.
 Help them develop the mindset that they should be
proud of working hard and learning something new.
 Use conversation starters that encourage students to
explain why or how they know something.

26


Slide 27

How Can I Help My Child to Do Well in School?
ALL Students:
 Read, read, read! Encourage – and model – reading
of all sorts of materials: books of fiction; books
that provide information; informative internet sites;
magazines; sets of directions.
 Read for sustained periods of time daily.

27


Slide 28

How Can I Help My Child to Do Well in School?
ALL Students:
Speak positively about math! If your own
experiences in mathematics were not positive, do
not share that with your child. Instead, tell your
child,
“Math is the basis of technology and a lot
of science. Math is pretty cool.”
