[quote=Anonymous]Here’s the thing, I actually want to see examples of word problems and the various techniques they use. We get a blurb weekly and completed work quarterly, but it’s helpful to know what they’re working on in the moment so we can put it in context and expand on it at home. My daughter was asking how old I was when she was born, then how old grandma was when I was born, then how old grandma was when she was born. She figured all of that out on her own once I prompted her to use number bonds and break down the big numbers. I had no idea what a number bond was until I saw it in her schoolwork, but she sure did. Maybe I could watch a YouTube video on elementary math, but seeing examples on worksheets gave me enough context to help her apply the concept in practice. So no, she may not “need” to do extra work outside of school, but it doesn’t hurt and helps me help her, so win win for OUR FAMILY. You do what is best for yours.[/quote]
