Communication in mathematics is very important. It is definitely one of the areas of need in our classroom. Here is an example of problem solving in our measurement unit focusing on communication. Notice that problem solving answers should include a full sentence answer, "show your work", and the "I know because..." communication component. Together we began with a few sentences offered by students and
"bumped it up" until we had a comprehensive answer. Please continue to focus on those "How do you know?" parts of homework questions and ask your child how he/she can "bump up" their answer.
