The Everyday Mathematics (EM) program was developed by the
University of Chicago School Mathematics Project (UCSMP) and is now
used in more than 185,000 classrooms by almost three million
students. Its research-based learning delivers the kinds of results
that all school districts aspire to. Yet despite that tremendous
success, EMoften leaves parents perplexed. Learning is accomplished
not through rote memorization, but by actually engaging in
real-life math tasks. The curriculum isn't linear, but rather
spirals back and forth, weaving concepts in and out of lessons that
build overall understanding and long-term retention. It's no wonder
that many parents have difficulty navigating this innovative
mathematical and pedagogic terrain.Now help is here. Inspired by
UCSMP's firsthand experiences with parents and teachers, Everyday
Mathematics for Parents will equip parents with an understanding of
EM and enable them to help their children with homework the heart
of the great parental adventure of ensuring that children become
mathematically proficient.Featuring accessible explanations of the
research-based philosophy and design of the program, and insights
into the strengths of EM, this little book provides the big-picture
information that parents need. Clear descriptions of how and why
this approach is different are paired with illustrative tables that
underscore the unique attributes of EM. Detailed guidance for
assisting students with homework includes explanations of the key
EM concepts that underlie each assignment. Resources for helping
students practice math more at home also provide an understanding
of the long-term utility of EM. Easy to use, yet jam-packed with
knowledge and helpful tips, Everyday Mathematics for Parents will
become a pocket mentor to parents and teachers new to EM who are
ready to step up and help children succeed. With this book in hand,
you'll finally understand that while this may not be the way that
you learned math, it's actually much better.
