Math

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

DAA uses Everyday Math to teach the Grade 3 Common Core standards. It's a fantastic, research-based, spiral curriculum, which encourages critical thinking, working collaboratively, and the process of solving problems, instead of just finding the solutions.

As we work through each unit, please feel free to use the following links and guides as an overview. If your child pays attention in class, gets practice through doing the homework, asks questions for clarity, and understands the concepts, he/she should do well on each test, unless careless mistakes are made. At DAA, we believe that assessments provide an opportunity for students to demonstrate what they know, not what they have studies or crammed for.

If there are ever any concepts that are proving to be difficult for your child to grasp, even after repeated practice, please write me a note in the passport or send me an email, so I can help him/her on a one-on-one basis or small group basis. Every student can do well in math!
