When it comes to learning math, it’s good to promote flexibility in learning and consider new, efficient ways of solving problems. Mathematics Instructional Coach Lisa Winters shares a few strategies for helping students practice math.
Number Games
Using only a deck of cards, families can play games with their students that increase automaticity and familiarity of facts.
Algorithms
Algorithms are ways that we solve problems, and there are often a number of efficient algorithms to use.
Number Talks
By talking through problems, families can promote flexible thinking and help their students place numbers in a meaningful context.
