Please send your student will appropriate warm clothing for recess. (It is helpful if you put your child's name in their coats as many times they show up in the lost and found)

Understanding how our number system works and how numbers relate to each other is what makes up a student’s “number sense”. Having a solid foundation of what numbers represent and how to think about them flexibly helps students adapt to new concepts throughout their education. Here are a few ways to help develop number sense at home with your student:

For younger students: number matching card games, using dice, counting objects and playing simple board games.

For older students: estimation jars, discussing real world math problems (budgeting, cooking, planning a trip), math bingo or higher level thinking games (Sudoku, etc.).
