Mathematics Resources
- Doing Mathematics With Your Child, A Parent Guide (Ontario Ministry of Education)
- Nelson Education Parent Centre – At-home activities and websites
- Everyday Mathematics (University of Chicago) – What an AMAZING website and project! Here parents can find twelve math units (Wow!) to work on with their children at home for each level from Pre-K to Grade 6. Units are broken down into several lessons and the concepts are taught online. Study links and answers to questions are provided as well.
- Making Math Magic at Home! (Queens University Faculty of Education, 2010) – Contains 124 pages of math activities to do at home with your child. There are even some activities in French at the end of the document!
- Figure this! Math Challenges for Families (National Council of Teachers of Mathematics)
- Math Online Dictionary – This online tool can be very helpful for both students and parents who are struggling to understand or remember the meaning of math terms and concepts.
- From Aplusmath.com (see topic links below) – Worksheets, games, flashcards and a homework helper! This is an excellent resource to strengthen number sense skills through guided practice. I especially like the homework helper feature because it explains and demonstrates step-by-step how to solve multi-digit computations (particularly helpful with those who struggle with long division).
