Dear Parents/Guardians,
This week your child will take two MAP tests. Students will take their Reading MAP test on Monday, and their Math MAP test on Thursday. Students will take their Science test next week. It is important that your child does his or her best on each of these tests, as teachers get individual data on areas of strengths and targeted areas of growth for each child. This will not be an all day test, so it is important your child is at school on time each day.
As I am sure you have heard by now, our math classes look a little different this year. K-5th grade teachers have implemented Eureka, which a new math curriculum that provides highly engaging lessons on grade level for students. There is information for families available at gm.greatminds.org/math-for-texas.
Homework Helpers for grades K-5 provide step-by-step explanations of how to work problems similar to those found in Eureka Math TEKS Edition homework assignments.
Family Tip Sheets for grades K-5 provide are topic level tip sheets that explain math strategies and models, provide key vocabulary and sample problems, and links to use vides.
If you would like to see what your child has been learning, as well as some ways you can help at home, I have included a 4th grade tip sheet and a 5th grade tip sheet below. Please reach out to your child's math teacher if you would like more information.
