Curriculum Overview
For a child to learn math with ease, they must be comfortable when they land in a “math fog”. This means that they are sitting in a confused place where they cannot see any signposts. It means they lack clarity and understanding around a new concept, and they are going to simply trust that the fog will lift. In the meantime, they can keep trying, they can stay positive and not get down on themselves, and they will take baby steps that are guided by you and Daily Wonder.
Throughout the unit, there will be games and worksheets suggested. Math skills need to be practiced daily, and finding a variety of ways to practice the same material is the key. Feel free to do your own online research to find other exciting games for review and practice.
Math takes time and patience. Remember to help your child to feel that just showing up, and being open-minded, and remaining confident is a huge part of learning math. The concepts will click when they are open and patiently ready to receive the new learning.
If you find your child loves math and is easily learning new concepts and skills, you can adjust accordingly and move into millionth place value and beyond, once the hundred thousandths have been introduced.
