Research Based Strategies
|
Schools implement many proven, research-based strategies as they work toward "No Child Left Behind" goals. Common Sense Math will work with any of them. The strategies are easily and effectively integrated into every lesson, if not every problem. |

"Why do I need Math? When will I ever use this?" Give them skills to keep them from being taken advantage of
Words all Math teachers hear too often. Common Sense Math focuses on basic, real-life, commonsense skills. Skills students will use in real life. We can help students see that without number sense and mental math skills, they could lose money! Whether by accident or on purpose, we might get less change that we should. Or get charged more than we should at the cash register. Helping students see that education and knowlege keeps us from being cheated or taken advantage of, gives them a reason to learn it.
