Parents monitor that students study for 10 minutes a day. The take home
calendars outline skills they must study daily.
Review the quarters at a glance on the back of each calendar. This document
will keep you informed of all skills your child will cover each quarter.
PREPARING FOR MATH TESTS
*Tell your child to always show his or her work on the page.
*Encourage your child to keep columns neat and straight to avoid careless
mistakes.
*Tell your child to circle or underline key words that tell which
computation is needed. For example, when a problem has the word about, it
signals that a guess or an estimate is wanted.
*Help your child develop the habit of underlining what each problem asks
for. After your child has a solution, he or she can go back to make sure it
answers the question that has been underlined. (Taken from SFAW Home
Community Connections)
*Review concepts in homework daily. See if they can teach it to you and/or
explain their thinking.
*Prepare a quiet study area at home and develop good study habits while they
are young.
