Investigations Games Grant-Friends of Pierson small medium large Math Take Home Activities During the last week of April, in honor of Math Awareness Month, our students focused their mathematics instructional time learning and playing games found in our Investigations math program. The role of mathematical games is key in helping our children develop familiarity with the number system. Playing games encourages strategic mathematical thinking as students find an optimal way to solve a problem. There is probably no activity in mathematics that children take more seriously than their games. Once those games have been used in the classroom and students have become familiar with them the Pierson staff will choose one or two as “Math Take-Home Activities.” The Friends of Pierson was gracious enough to provide us with $700 for the materials we need to make up the games so that our students can use them at home. This will be a way for parents to connect with what their children are learning in mathematics as well as provide students with activities at home that reinforce mathematical thinking. It will also give students a way to start a collection of math activities that they can use at home. We are looking for a group of parents to help organize/prepare these games for our students. If you can help run-off materials or if you would be able to work at home to cut out and organize game pieces, we need your help. Any parent interested in being part of this group should contact Diana Avino by either filling out the form below and returning it to your child’s teacher or contacting her directly through e-mail at davino@clintonpublic.org. We will meet together early in May so that we can have games ready to go home with students along with their summer work packets. Also, anyone who can either donate or knows an inexpensive resource for us to obtain resealable plastic bags (on sale or at cost) please let Diana Avino know. We are planning to put each game in a plastic bag. Thank you again for all you do, Diana Avino Math Take-Home Games Parent Volunteer Form Parent Name____________________________ Child’s classroom#_________ E-mail address____________________________ Home phone #____________________________ ____Yes, I could help run things off at school ____Yes, I would like to cut/organize packets at home Or, would you like to view and optionally restore one of these previous versions?
