Math in Focus is the math program that HBS has adopted. In order to keep you informed of the concepts we are learning in class, I have provided a series of newsletters called “School-to-Home Connections.”
This consists of:
- vocabulary terms with explanations
- a brief outline of the math content for the chapter
- a simple and engaging activity for the adult at home to do with the child to explore or practice a key concept or skill
My hope is that this will provide an opportunity to allow parents to practice and reinforce math skills and essential vocabulary at home.
