Parents and guardians can support math learning at home:
  1. Ensure your child is completing the Zearn lessons that accompany each lesson in their math book. These can be accessed through Classlink on your child's chromebook.
  2. Read the letter to families and watch the embedded videos with your child. There is one for each unit. These have been added to Schoology by your child's math teacher. 
  3. Review lesson summaries with your child. These can be found at the end of each lesson in your child's math book.
