Mathematical Practices

Today we started talking about the mathematical practices. They are a great way to think about math! We want our students at CFG to see math in the world around them and use the practices to problem solve. I want my students to know and believe that with math, the journey is more important than the destination. The mathematical practices are vehicles we use to reach our destination. We will use these every day in class and I highly encourage you to have them posted somewhere at home. You can refer back to these with homework, and when your child encounters math in their day to day world. 

Here they are in kid friendly terms. We introduced practices 1-3 today. We will have a math station where we write about the mathematical practices, once we get our math stations going.
