Math Mania Fun!

What a nice evening we all had playing math games and learning about what goes on during our math lessons at St. Mary's!  I wanted to share with those of you that didn't come by the Think Tank some resources that parents might find helpful.  There are several places you can go to for help if you have questions or are having trouble understanding the way that the information is presented in the Everyday Math program:

University of Chicago information - This site is hosted by the University of Chicago (the developers of the Everyday Mathematics program).  This is a great place to go to watch video tutorials explaining the algorithms of the program and to find information about all of the Everyday Math concepts.  When you click on the grade level links on the left side of the screen you will find specifics about what is being introduced and the family letters.   There are also links to sites with games to build fact fluency (down farther on the left-hand side).  This is a great place site to use at home!

Everyday Math - This is a site that we used last year when we had a subscription to the Everyday Math (EM) online components.  We didn't find the online math activities a necessary part of our program, but it does have a couple of tutorials and explanations of the program that are nice (including a list of books involving math!).

Additional EM resources - This site is another part of the EM suite of products and it contains some links to free games.
