Teachers emphasize that the letters do not represent homework, but rather an opportunity for families to work together. Each letter contains a brief introduction to the mathematics concept and suggests activities that aim to be practical and enjoyable. Parents and children are encouraged to talk about how the math concept is found in everyday activities. For example, one letter explains the meaning of mean and median for a data set. Also found in this book are pages to send home with vocabulary and mathematics symbols, problem solving strategies, and more in-depth background for parents about the mathematics concepts.
All materials are available in Spanish.
