Fractions, decimals and percents...are everywhere!

There are many ways you can support your child with our Math program.

Here are a few ways that relate directly to our current Unit:




Connect math to daily life. 
- Math is everywhere
- Share how you use math in your job and at home
- Ask your child how they used math today


Practise mental math using coins. 
- Math is part of money and finances
- Costs are decimal numbers
- Help your child make connections with dollars and cents

Sports and math. 
- It's soccer season, why not explore percentages from box scores
- share your favourite players - tennis, hockey, baseball or whatever sport and share the math: 
- help your child understand batting averages, points per game, save percentages to share how math shows who are the best players and improvements
