We are using //Investigations// for our math program, and we are excited to have the updated version which is much more teacher and parent friendly. This math program introduces children to all major mathematical concepts – mathematical thinking, multiplication and division, geometry, measuring and data, the number system, addition and subtraction, and fractions. This program moves beyond basic arithmetic and nurtures higher-order and critical thinking skills using real world problems and situations. Knowledge of basic math facts is crucial. There will be daily timed tests to review basic facts. **Students should be practicing their math facts nightly for at least 5 minutes.**
