Math Resources

Mathematics knows no races or geographic boundaries; for mathematics, the cultural world is one country.
—David Hilbert (1862-1943, German mathematician)

Math at Home

Your involvement in your child’s education can have a significant impact on his or her success in school. You and your student can do the following activities at home to reinforce math concepts.
  • Practice problem solving with real-world math, like calculating the cost at a store, determining elapsed time, doubling or halving a recipe, determining the number of miles driven in X hours, count objects, or identifying number words.
  • Play games that involve math like Yahtzee, Memory, Monopoly, Go Fish, and “War.”
  • Practice addition, subtraction, multiplication and division facts with flash cards, a deck of cards, or oral practice
  • Show a positive attitude toward math. Your feelings about math can influence the way your student feels about math.
