Bridge's Math Homework PolicyOn occasion, students may bring home math homework. We are limiting the amount of homework being sent home as there will be time given in class. Plus, with our new math curriculum, Bridges, students will be given Home Connections pages once the class is proficient on concepts.
It is strongly encouraged that students complete the Home Connection page(s) on an individual basis while at home. However, if your child is finding difficulty in completing the problems on their Home Connection page(s) and it is causing them a ton of frustration, please place the uncompleted page back in their backpack and their teacher will assist him/her. Math Standards vs Math PracticesThroughout math, not only will students receive responsibility and performance grades, but they will also be assessed daily on Math Content Standards and Math Practices. To know the difference, please read below to educate yourselves.
Math Content Standards identify specific areas that are separated by bands. These bands are: -Operations and Algebraic Thinking -Number and Operations in Base Ten -Number and Operations- Fractions -Measurement and Data -Geometry Within each band there are detailed standards which specifically address what students in fifth grade are to understand; these content standards are a balance of procedure and understanding. On the other hand, Math Practices are practices in which a student at any math level should seek to be empowered in. They are practices students should become fluent in. Math Practices allow students to be engaged and empowered throughout their entire journey as a math student. Not only that, but these practices go beyond the math classroom as well. The Math Practices include: -Make sense of problems and persevere in solving them. -Reason abstractly and quantitatively. -Construct viable arguments and critique the reasoning of others. -Model with Mathematics. -Use appropriate tools strategically. -Attend to Precision. -Look for and make use of structure. -Look for and express regularity in repeated reasoning. |
