Mini-Lessons
Word Problems
Click through the presentation below to view the question and then view the answer (the students should be familiar with this format from when we answer these problems in class).
Math Discussion Prompts
This slideshow has a collection of prompts that can inspire mathematical discussions that you and your children can have before bed, at dinner, or anytime. Each prompt shows you and your child a problem.
Sometimes there is one right answer and sometimes there are many right answers. The purpose of each question is to generate a discussion about how you determined an answer. If you find one answer, try to find another.

As you read the story, enjoy discussing what happens with each new attempt to make equal teams. Predict whether the teams will be equal. Make up problems based on the situations. For example: How many balls are needed if each group needs 3 and there are 5 groups? Choose 1-4 of the following activities to work on with your child The Math Mat On the inside back cover, you will find a gym floor. Use this along with small objects to explore making equal groups out of a given number of players. For example: What different ways can you make equal teams with 30 players? Our Family How many people are in your family? How many items do you need for each person to have 1 coat? 2 hats? 3 shirts? 4 pairs of pants? 5 books? 6 wishes? |
Equal Groups in Nature: Make up problems using equal groups in nature. For example: Which is more: the number of legs on 6 ants or the number of legs on 5 spiders? Then have someone else try to solve them!
