What's Taught
Each grade's 12 activities focus on number, measurement, and geometry to build skills and connect home with school.
At school: Children learn a game of exploration that extends their experience with a mathematical concept and prepares them for an activity they will do at home.
At home: The student and home partner perform the math activity.
Back at school: The students share and discuss their experiences, for example, by organizing the data from home activities.
