Parents of 1st and 2nd graders joined classroom teachers to explore math in the lives of their children on Wednesday, October 23rd.

Games, problems, and activities were organized at tables according to the NCTM Math Principles and Standards. Parents were challenged to solve problems and play games the way their children do everyday.

We shared a short film, "Math in the Lives of 1st and 2nd Graders" which showed examples of math thinking, use of materials, and types of lessons in the school day. This film is available from the Math Lab on VHS or DVD. Please contact Merry Adelfio if you would like to borrow it.

We held a discussion about how we apply the NCTM Principles and Standards in our curriculum. Parents submitted questions, some of which we answered then, and some of which we will answer on this webpage. There were great questions to work with and we look forward to publishing our answers on this page in the very near future.

Here are some photos from the 1st and 2nd Grade Math Night.
