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.

Click on the book Measurements About You on the right, and read it with your child. (Click here to access a PDF of the book if you can't read it online.)
As you read, ask your child to share what he/she finds to be an interesting measurement. Together, you might estimate, measure, and compare the heights of different family members. You also might pull strands of hair from willing family members and then estimate, measure, and compare hair length. Choose 1-4 of the following activities to work on with your child Finding Benchmark Lengths Encourage your child to search for and record items that have a length close to or exactly 1 centimetre (cm), 10 cm, and 1 m. Please ensure your child brings her/his findings to class by (date). Personal Measures The book begins with the character sharing birth measures. If you have such records about your child, you might share them with her/him. If you have records from annual doctor checkups, your child may be interested in seeing those, as well. You can talk about growth and together make some predictions. |

What can you find at home with a measure of 1 litre (L) or 1 kilogram (kg)? Encourage your child to search the refrigerator and cupboards to find containers that hold 1 L, as well as for packages that have a mass of 1 kg.
