enVision Math Family Resources
enVision Mathematics is our district's K-5 Mathematics resource. In addition to any links and materials provided by your child's teacher, please use the family resource pages linked on our district website to support your child at home.
The parent page for each grade level contains an overview of the math at that grade level and ways you can support math learning at home, as well as examples and videos for every lesson. There are also videos showing you how to translate the pages into another language, needed. https://www.delranschools.org/curriculum/district_supervisors/MaryJoHutchinson/en_vision_math_k-5
