Marvelous Math with Mrs. Rose

Dear Parents, Students, and Teachers,

We’re always looking for more interactive, fun, and efficient ways to build FACT FLUENCY in our students–whether it’s addition, subtraction, multiplication, or division.  Please try out this website that I’ve recently discovered (recommended by a colleague—thank you Mrs. Amber Bishop!), which is incredible.  Not only does it give students a motivating way to learn math facts and develop fluency, it tracks their learning, offering them what’s most developmentally appropriate to work on next!

Please give it a try and let me know what you think!

Exciting  new research shows that girls’ interest in Math and Science is boosted significantly by parents and teachers who help to instill self-confidence in their female learners.  A team of researchers at the University of Wisconsis-Milwaukee (UWM) found that this self-confidence is more important for young girls learning Math and Science than initial interest, according to Science Daily.

“The relationship between confidence and interest is close,” says UWM Distinguished Professor Nadya Fouad.  “If they feel they can do it, it feeds their interest.”

Important supports to nurture our young girls’ interest and success in Math and Science include:

• Parent support and expectations
• Engaging teachers and positive experiences with them
