The Oklahoma State Department of Education encourages families to be a part of their student's learning. So in conjunction with the OSDE, we will be featuring a few ideas of how to work together with the schools to further your students understanding! Each week, we will focus on a core subject and ways to continue learning at home! This week will feature ideas to highlight Math skills!
"In sixth grade, the mathematical skills and understanding your child is developing will be key foundations for college and career readiness. These include working with ratios and rates and with the building blocks for algebra, variables and variable expressions." - OSDE 6th Grade Family Guides
What to do at home:
• Ask your child to look at the same item at the store in two different sizes and determine which size is the best value.
• Calculate how much the temperature has changed over the course of the day.
• Create story problems from real-life situations. For example, at the fair, if it costs $5 to get in and $1.50 per ride, how many rides can you have for $20?
"When families and schools work together as partners, it helps your child achieve academic excellence!"
