This is an overview of the math curriculum I will use as well as the skills
and concepts I will introduce during the year. Some concepts will be taught
for mastery, others will be introduced to be built upon in later grades.
The instructional strategies used and amount of time spent on each topic
will be based on my assessments of the children’s current knowledge,
interests, and learning styles. You can use the information here to talk
to your child about the things he or she is learning and to reinforce the
vocabulary words provided. Growing comfortable using new vocabulary is an
important part of the learning process.
