The Mathematics Problem

Schools today are facing a serious problem when it comes to Mathematics. Students are not effectively learning and understanding the knowledge they need in order to complete math problems. Many students do not feel comfortable with math and feel that they are not good at it. This is a problem because basic math is crucial for any job in the future. Therefore, it is important that the skills are fostered from a very early age. These skills must start at the basics with knowledge and memorization of adding and subtracting or the times tables. Math can often be viewed as scary and difficult, however there are many resources and ways to make it fun! Parents and students, check out this website IXL for games and activities that are linked with the Ontario Curriculum. Students, we have been working on patterns in class. If you would like to get some extra practice at recognizing patterns, check this activity out! Grade 1: Recognizing Patterns. It meets Grade 1 Math expectations 1.1. & 2.1. apply developing reasoning skills (e.g., pattern recognition, classification) to make and investigate conjectures. Learning can be fun and exciting and all students should have the opportunity to succeed.
