Now that the business plan project is over …

Our current math unit is called, “Say it with Symbols.” It involves simplifying expressions and solving equations. The family letter from Pearson can be found here.

One way to help your child with math is to encourage them to take responsibility for their own learning. If they seem to be struggling with homework you can suggest that they:

• Contact me by email. This way I will know to check in with them on the next school day.
• Look back at classroom notes or previous homework assignments. They should be able to find an example that is similar to the problem that they are working on.
• Use instructional resources. There are many algebra videos online. For this unit just search for, “solving multi step equations."
• Work with a partner during project block.
• Seek extra help during the school day or after school on Mondays and Wednesdays.
• Don't be afraid to make mistakes. Mistakes grow your brain.
