  4. Objectives • Introduce parents to key components of EM, including cumulative scope and sequence (spiraling), math journals, family newsletters, SRBs and the use of manipulatives and mental math. • Answer parent questions.

  5. Check out our EM resources for parents:www.oakwoodschools.orgor directly at http://www2.oakwood.k12.oh.us/~cia/CIA/Everyday_Math_Resources.html

  6. What do parents need to know about EM? • Three key things to know about Everyday Math (EM). • EM components: • Games • Student Resource Book (SRB) • Math Journal • Manipulatives • Mental math • Home Links/Study Links and family newsletters

  7. Three Key Things about EM • #1: Cumulative Scope & Sequence (Spiral curriculum) • Topics/skills tend to be introduced at an earlier grade • Mastery over time • Beginning • Developing • Secure (Grade Level Mastery Objectives)

  8. Cumulative Scope & Sequence (Spiral curriculum)

  9. Three Key Things about EM • #2: Multiple methods to solve • What works best? For student? For situation/problem? • #3: Emphasis on the language of math • More reading and writing in math • Math-specific vocabulary (e.g. quotient; product; base x height; simplify; graphs, such as stem-and-leaf, line plot, etc.)

  10. EM Instructional Design

  11. EM Components • Games • Student Resource Book (SRB) • Math Journal • Manipulatives • Mental math • Home Links/Study Links and family newsletters

  12. Student Reference Book (SRB) • Complete the Scavenger Hunt! • SRB components: • Overviews of content and skills (arranged by topic; detailed table of contents and index) • Directions on how to play math games • Tables and charts for reference • Glossary • Answer key for Check Your Understanding items • Available in print version and online (email me if you would like access to the online version). • See example.
