• Magic Words
     
    We are encouraging students to communicate effectively in writing about their math work. Written communication activities occur at least once a week during math. These "Magic Words" are words that we encourage students to use as they explain WHY they solved a mathematical problem in a specific way. As you are solving problems at home whether formally or informally you may want to encourage your child to use some of these words.
