Parents, you may be interested in this presentation about how math is taught, and some strategies you can use to help your child learn their "fast facts" (operations with small numbers, like 7x4=28, 8-4=4, 12+9=21, 40/5=8).

Boardgames are a great way to develop problem-solving skills and strategic thinking! When we play boardgames, we need to be able to...

-think and plan ahead

-take on other perspectives ("If I do this, what might my opponent do?")

-strategize - what's the best way to accomplish my goal?

-persevere - that didn't work, what can I try next?

-problem-solve - try many paths forward to find the best one

-win AND lose gracefully :)

-take turns and follow rules/constraints

-think creatively and flexibly

Boardgames can be tricky in school because of missing pieces or the amount of time it takes. That's why we encourage you to play boardgames at home! You can find a list of wonderful boardgames to play with your child HERE. Many of these games are available in used games stores and online.
