Your child's math journal from this year will be coming home with them. The journal serves as a source for learning concepts from the daily lessons, as well as for practicing previously taught skills. There are various ways that we used the journals in class. Often students worked together with their peers while a teacher walked around the classroom to help. Sometimes we completed problems as a class and other times students worked independently so that we could check their progress. Therefore some pages are not completed or corrected.
You may use these journals for reviewing skills over the summer. If a page seems confusing or too difficult, skip it and choose one your student understands. The pages with Math Boxes are the best ones for students if they are looking for some extra practice. You could even make up new problems on a separate sheet of paper based on the ones in the journal.
