  2. What can we expect in middle school? What can parents do over the summer to help their children be prepared? Today is a very brief overview of some resources you may find helpful.

  3. It is not reasonable to expect to review every single thing your child has learned throughout the year! • Because you have limited time, focus on reviewing and strengthening the skills that are the basic foundational skills: • Whole Numbers • Fractions • Decimals • When students have a conceptual understanding of mathematical concepts, they are able to apply that understanding in more than one area!

  4. Meaning of Multiplication Whole Numbers 23 groups of 18 23 × 18 20 + 3 200 30 10 + 8 24 160

  5. Meaning of Multiplication Fractions of ×

  6. Meaning of Division Whole Numbers Fractions 36 ÷ 3 = 12

  7. I agree that conceptual understanding is best. How can we do this at home? • Where do we find materials? • Parent Resource Center • (You can check out materials.) • Online Virtual Manipulatives • http://nlvm.usu.edu/en/nav/vlibrary.html • Drawings

  8. Some Examples from Online Virtual Manipulatives http://nlvm.usu.edu/en/nav/vlibrary.html

  9. I agree that conceptual understanding is best. How can we do this at home? • Where do we find examples and lessons? • NCTM (National Council of Teachers of Mathematics) Illuminations Website • http://illuminations.nctm.org/ • Learn Zillion • http://learnzillion.com/lessons • Ms. Luttrell’s Website • (Use the link on Lovin’s website.
