What Does Math Look Like Throughout the Grades?

Click on a grade level to see a video of what students may be learning at that grade level.

These videos focus on developing number sense and personal strategies for basic operations (addition, subtraction, multiplication, division).
Remember that students develop differently at different times. Learning for understanding takes time and thinking first, then practice.
Students need to find the strategy that best works for their understanding.
This strategy will develop and change over time to become more efficient.
An effective strategy is one that the student understands and that works for the mathematical situation in which they are using it.
It is important to work with objects, pictures, and numbers to develop number sense.
