As we implement the Common Core State Standards in both English Language Arts (Reading, Writing, Language) and Math, you may notice that the rigor of your child's homework has increased. The Common Core State Standards require students to explain their thinking. They want students not to just know how to do a math problem, but to understand WHY they are doing it.
Many of you have asked how you can support your student's learning at home. Here is an awesome way you can do that. You can go to www.learnzillion.com. LearnZillion is a website that provides teachers and parents with video lessons showing what your student needs to learn in each grade level. The videos include a 3-5 minute "teaching" video and a short "practice" video where students can see if they understand the lesson.
When you open the site, you can type the lesson code into any search bar on the site. The code will bring you directly to the lessons for that unit. The first math unit's code is LZ516.
If you have any questions, as always, feel free to email me!
