4 ¿Por qué las matemáticas son importantes?Engaging Families ¿Por qué las matemáticas son importantes? Los estudiantes con discapacidades necesitan conectar las matemáticas con la vida diaria, ya que las matemáticas están en todas partes. Math skills are important to a child’s success – success at school and in everyday experiences. Understanding math builds confidence and gives students more options in their career choices. Children learn best when they can connect math to their own experience. We can help children recognize how math is used all around them and in our daily lives. Helping to engage them in games and activities that encourage mathematical thinking and the use of numbers. In our everyday experiences, understanding math lets us, manage our money, manage time, figure out how much money we need for groceries and everyday expenses, allows us to create household budgets, figure how much time to get to work, and calculate sales taxes. In 1970, only nine percent of all jobs in the U.S. were considered technical. today, technical jobs make up nearly one-third of all employment opportunities. (Source: The Importance of Mathematics Parents often think that struggling in math is a normal part of life, particularly if they struggled with math when they were in school. We often think that math is a subject that either comes naturally or in other words either you get it or you don’t. But being successful in math is more about practice. It’s important for parents to be positive… Source: Center on School, Family, and Community Partnerships at Johns Hopkins University and MDRC.

5 Conectando las matemáticas con la vida diariaEngaging Families Conectando las matemáticas con la vida diaria Matemáticas en casa, en el supermercado, en los viajes y recorridos, tan solo por diversión y en las finanzas. . Research has shown that the amount of “Math Talk” is linked to children’s readiness for and success in math learning in kindergarten and elementary (The Impact of family Involvement on the Education of Children). Let’s talk about how to weave math activities and math language into your families daily routines that will show your child how math works in their everyday life, such as buying items, measuring ingredients, counting plates and utensils for dinner. Give families handouts for each of the titles below. At least two activities would be demonstrated and parents would receive handouts. Math in the Home: Your home is a great place for you to begin to explore and “talk” mathematics with your child. Math at the Grocery Store: The grocery store is one of the best examples of a place where the ability to use mathematics is put to work in the “real world.” It’s a great place to practice measurement and estimation. Math On the Go: In this busy world , we spend a lot of time moving from place to place in our cars, on buses and trains, and on foot. Not only will your child learn and practice math skills, but the time you spend traveling will go by more quickly as well. Math for the fun of it: During summer vacations, on rainy days, while waiting at the doctor’s office, or on a stroll in the neighborhood learning never ends. Your child can explore math in the world around them, just for the fun of it. Math and Money : Let’s face it—kids like money. So, what better way to help young people embrace math than by teaching them about money.

6 Matemáticas en la casa Actividades de matemáticas en las rutinas diarias¿Cuántos pasos? Clasificando ... Recogiendo... Cocinando juntos... Matemáticas usando galletas. Es cuestion de tiempo… Modele y enseñe. Home is a wonderful place to explore math and do “talk Math” with your child. Seeing math as a part of their daily activities will help your child have a better understanding of math. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Some children with learning disabilities have difficulty counting systematically; others have difficulty with words such as more, less, few and other relational terms. Encourage children to help estimate, measure, pour water or milk, not only to learn some of the quantitative terms but to help them acquire certain visual- spatial-motor skills. For young children simple games with dominoes can be used to match quantities, to strengthen counting skills and one-to-one correspondence. When reading to children, have them note the numbers of the pages and say them. Some youngsters learn to count, but they do not learn how to read numerals.  Ordering objects according to size is an important aspect of mathematics which parents can encourage. When children are given pots and pans of various sizes to stack in order, they are learning. When they stack various size rings on a peg they also learn about the smallest and largest figures. Simple problem solving can begin with activities such as setting the table. How many more forks do we need? Do we have enough spoons? These same types of activities can be used when playing games-- Do we have enough players, cards? etc. Many simple board games with dice are excellent ways of teaching counting, one-to-one correspondence, and turn taking. (Encourage early mathematics and number activities, Doris Johnson, Learning Disabilities Center, Northwestern University, Evanston, Illinois) _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________  How Many Steps? Take a walk with your child. Ask your child to guess how many steps it will take to get from the tree to the corner. After he makes his estimate have him count steps to see how close the estimate is.. Next ask how many of your steps it will take. Sort it out... Sorting socks while folding clean laundry. Setting the dinner table (counting how many of each utensils will be needed and sorting them) When setting the table, help your child count how many people will be eating together and figure out how many plates, napkins, cups, etc. you’ll need. Then let your child count them out.  Pick it up…Make cleaning up fun! Estimate how many toys, books, stuffed animals, etc. are on the floor. Count each item as it is put away to see how close the estimate is to the actual number of items. Cooking together.. Pick out a recipe, figure out what ingredients are needed and what you need to buy... Child be your helper . Let your child measure ingredients when you cook. Figure out how much of each ingredient is needed if you cut a recipe in half, double it, or triple it. Include your child in child safe cooking activities. Have him/her help count out ingredients and help with measuring and pouring. Make a cooking schedule. Make cooking together a regular event. You and your kids can pick a day to cook together – every Friday, or the 1st Saturday of the month. ( Look at the 1st Sunday on a calendar and note the cooking activity on the calendar). If you want you can also have a more whimsical schedule, like baking cookies on rainy weekend days. Also…have your child figure out the “fair share” of candy, snacks, food, etc. when splitting it between 2 or more people. This sharpens counting, adding, subtracting, and sometimes, fraction skills. Cookie Math Fractions…. Put the soft cookies on a plate and ask your child to count them. Have your child cut the cookies in half. Ask her to tell you again how many cookies there are. Did cutting that cookie change how many cookies are on the plate? What did  it change? Talk about how the cookie you cut and the other cookies are different from each other. The only difference is that one of them is cut into two pieces and the others aren’t , ask: How many pieces is a whole cookie?  Ask your child to pick up one piece of the cookie you cut. Explain:.  The whole cookie is made up of two pieces. What you’re holding is one out of two pieces. That’s one-half. It’s About Time…. Talk about time. Ask your child to check the time on the clock when he or she goes to school, eat meals, and goes to bed. Together, look up the time of a television program your child wants to watch. Together you can create a family TV schedule and keep track of the amount of TV watched. Record on a calendar the time of your child’s favorite away-from-home activity. Model and Teach: Let your child see you using math. Source: US Department of Education, Office of Communications and Outreach. (2005) Helping Your Child Learn Mathematics, Washington, D.C. 2011

7 Matemáticas en el supermercado Usando las matemáticas en la “vida real”Contando todo. ¿Cuanto pesa esto? Lista de comestibles Recortar y guardar. Pagar en la caja. Guardar los comestibles al llegar a casa. Count everywhere! The number of items you put in the cart, how many apples or oranges you need, how many boxes of cereal you buy. How much does this weigh? Use the scales in the produce section for a quick game of “How much will this weigh?” Then go where they can experience heavier weights. Have them hold that 2 pound bag of sugar and then move on to a 5 pound bag of flour. Try the 10-pounder if your store sells them. Which feels the heaviest. Grocery List. Making a grocery shopping list can be both enjoyable and an opportunity to reinforce young children's number sense. Have your child find the recipe of a favorite treat or something new. Your child can help write the grocery list or for younger kids use pictures of grocery items cut from magazines, internet, catalogs or advertising flyers (for example, choose pictures of different kinds of vegetables, fruit, containers of milk or juice, cans of soup, boxes of cereal and crackers, loaves of bread) Index cards (or similar-sized cards cut from heavy paper) to create a picture list. Clip and Save. Coupons can be used to help children learn the value of money as well as to let them show off their addition and subtraction skills. Show your child a grocery store coupon for a product that he likes to eat and have him count out coins to show how much money the coupon saves on the product. Then have your child subtract the coupon amount from the price of the item. Check it Out. The checkout lane of a grocery store can be a good place for children to practice using mental math by estimating the cost of groceries and figuring out change. As you wait in a grocery checkout lane, use the time to have your child estimate what the total cost of your groceries will be. You may want to start out doing this activity in the 10 or less item checkout and then progress to more items. Put It Away. Putting away groceries helps children develop classifying and mathematical reasoning skills and the ability to analyze data. As you empty the bags, group the items according to some common feature. You might, for example, put together all the items that go in the refrigerator or all the items in cans. Together.  Source: US Department of Education, Office of Communications and Outreach.

8 Matemáticas sobre la marcha Trasládandose de un lugar a otroBuscando el tesoro en el vecindario Contando los colores Marcando la ruta Buscando números Conduciendo con facilidad Neighbor Scavenger Hunt. Go on a short journey around your neighborhood with a list of items you're on the lookout for, such as rocks, flowers, bricks, blue cars, or whatever else your area holds. Bring your list along and check the items off you as go. Count the Color. Assign your child a particular color, such as red, and have him count the number of red cars and trucks he sees on the road. Map it Out. Before your trip begins, sit down with your child, a map and a ruler. Help him figure out the key so that he knows how many inches equals a mile. Show him where you are starting and where you wish to go. See if he can find the shortest route using the map and the key. Before your family leaves on a trip, sit with your child and show him a map that includes both where you live and where you’re going. Talk with him about what maps are and how they are used. Use the marker to circle your hometown and then explain that this is where you live. Then circle the place you plan to visit and explain that this is where you’re going. Draw a line between the two (a simple straight line—don’t attempt to follow the highway route). Number Search: Before you leave on a car trip, draw a “Number Search” grid, with five boxes across and 10 boxes down. In each box (moving across from the first box), write a number from 1 to 50. Make a copy of the grid for each family member (except, of course, the driver). As you travel, have family members play “Number Search.” Tell everyone to be on the lookout for numbers and when they see one on a car or truck, a billboard, a sign, a building, or anything else, to point out the number, then circle it on the grid. (Only the person who spots the number first gets to circle it.) The first person to circle all the numbers on the grid wins. Ease on down the Road: Have your child estimate how many miles till you reach your destination. Before you leave on your trip have your child write down the mileage. When you reach your destination, have your child write down the new mileage on your odometer. Show him how to figure the actual number of miles you traveled by subtracting the mileage when you left home from the new number. Then have him compare the actual mileage to the estimated mileage.

9 Matemáticas solo por diversión Explore las matemáticas en el mundo que nos rodeaTirando los dados Adivina lo que estoy pensando Contando los días Es la hora… Roll the Dice. For younger children, play “who rolls the highest number” on the dice. For more advanced play, roll two dice and practice addition and subtraction by adding or subtracting the two numbers. Alternate turns with your child andhave him or her check your answers. Guess What I’m Thinking: Let your child think of a number within a range of numbers, for example between 1 and 10. Try to guess the number by asking him questions like, “Is it more that six?” “Is it less than 3?” Count the Days. Use the calendar to count the number of days in a week or in a month, to count the number of months in a year, or to name the days of a week or months of a year. Put on the calendar activities, special trips, holidays, spelling test, school projects… note how much time before the activity / event It’s Time: Practice telling time (use digital and/or analog) Let your child know what time you are leaving for an event, and have him/her calculate how much time there is between the current time and the time you are leaving.Read schedules for information (TV Guide, bus, train). Watch a 30 minute TV show. Time the length of commercials. Figure out time of actual show to the nearest minute. Have your child look at the time when they go to school, eats meals, and goes to bed.

10 Las matemáticas y el dinero Explore las matemáticas y el dinero.De qué se trata.. Jugando con las monedas... Contando frascos... El dinero y la lectura. What’s it all about?... Have a discussion about the purposes of money (food, toys, clothing, charity and make a list on chart paper) Putting it together. Choose coins so that your child can’t see, then hold out your closed hand and ask her questions such as the following:—I have three coins in my hand. They’re worth 7 cents. What coins do I have? (a nickel and 2 pennies)—I have three coins in my hand. They’re worth 16 cents. What coins do I have? (a dime, a nickel, a penny)—I have three coins in my hand. They’re worth 11 cents. What coins do I have? (2 nickels and 1 penny)—I have three coins in my hand. They’re worth 30 cents. What coins do I have? (3 dimes) Ask your child to tell you how she knows the answer. Counting Jars One idea many kids use involves three jars. One jar is for saving, one jar is for giving, and one is for spending. Every time you earn or get money, some of it should go in each jar. Money and Reading -Good book -that incorporates money and reading is “ Sam and the lucky Money by Karen Chin”. Sam wants to spend his money but everything he wants costs to much. His disappointment turns to compassion when he meets a homeless person who needs socks. Source: US Department of Education, Office of Communications and Outreach.

11 Ayudando a hacer la tarea de matemáticasEngaging Families Ayudando a hacer la tarea de matemáticas Cuando su hijo vaya a empezar: Provea un lugar bien iluminado y cómodo para el. PREGUNTE… ¿Que es lo que necesitas responder? ¿Podrias estimar el resultado? ¿Te gustaría que leamos el problema juntos, para estar seguros de cuál es la pregunta? ¿Puedes mostrarme un ejemplo de este tipo de problema en tu libro? Mientras su hijo esta trabajando, pregunte: ¿Como puedes organizar la información? ¿Te ayudaría una lista o tabla? ¿Te ayudaría hacer un dibujo del problema o usar contadores? ¿Cuál sería el siguiente paso? ¿Notas algún patrón? (Si su hijo parece frustado.) Pregúntele si quiere tomar un descanso de 10 minutos. Cuando su hijo encuentre una respuesta, pregunte: ¿Como encontraste la respuesta?¿Crees que es correcta? Explícame como lo hiciste. Si su hijo parece perplejo, pregúntele, que es lo que no hace sentido para el. o… Explíquele porque su respuesta hace sentido. This is a good spot to talk about math and common core and how parents can help support homework. It has been suggested that parents involvement in their children’s homework can cause confusion between traditional math and the math taught in classrooms. How can you / your school get parents, students, and teachers on the same page? Parents may not understand the shift in teaching methods under common core. Many parents are having difficulty with the concept of no text books. Think about what is important for parents to know and what skills do parents need to participate in their children’s math learning at home and how the school can promote and support families in learning these these skills?

12 Caja de herramientas para las matemáticas en casaEngaging Families Caja de herramientas para las matemáticas en casa l caja de carton o plastico lápices con puntas sacapuntas goma hojas para hacer cálculos pegamento compás plástico o metal protector contadores calculatora de bolsillo regla Help Your Child Build Their Own Math Toolbox Would be helpful to have a sample of a toolbox available and demonstrate to parents how their child might use the items in the toolkit to help with homework. Teachers use manipulative to help children understand math concepts. These are simple objects like bottle caps or colored blocks. Children use them to count or solve math problems. When children particularly children with disabilities do math with visual and hands-on manipulative, it makes more sense. Hands on manipulative are useful tools for solving problems. You can support math at home home by helping your child build their own math toolbox. A math Toolbox is a collection of manipulative and tools your child will need to do math homework in a handy box. A few basic tools can help your child get organized. Your child’s teacher can help you with what tools are appropriate for your child and how to use them at home. Make it fun, many of these manipulative are inexpensive and some can be found around the house. Enlist your child to go on a “math shopping trip” or a “scavenger hunt at home” to find the tools they need. This can give your child a feeling of ownership, independence, and resourcefulness. Example of items for the toolbox: Cardboard or plastic box, pencils, pencil Sharpener, Eraser, Scratch paper, glue stick, Compass, Protractor, Counters ( counters can be buttons, pennies, lima beans or any other small objects, calculators, Rulers, Scissors Your child can see that math is everywhere and how everyday items can be used to understand math .

13 Talk to your child’s teacher anytime you have questions or concerns about your child’s math skills. The “Questions Parents Can Ask …About Math instruction” handout is a tool you can use to get the information you need to help your child be successful. Make sure you know “What grade level your Child is on? and “What specific things you can do to help at home?” Parents don’t need to ask all the questions in the document. In begins with general questions and then the questions are divided into potential areas of concern. When children struggle in math, it's important for you and your child’s teacher to talk about what’s going on with your child. Is there a learning disability? Does your child have a different learning style that requires different instruction? Does your child need modifications / accommodations based on his/her special needs.. 2011
