Parent Math Night
What Do Our Kids Need to Know About Math?
John Tapper is returning on Thursday, October 27th to talk to MDI parents about the key math topics for each grade level K-6, how to support children when learning math facts, and to introduce strategies for developing mathematical thinking. He will answer questions about math instruction, ways to support struggling learners, and Maine’s math standards.
Dr. Tapper is an Associate Professor of Elementary Education at the University of Hartford. In addition to 20 years of elementary classroom teaching, he has worked with teachers all over the world to improve math instruction. He is also a researcher and is the author of Solving for Why: Assessing, Teaching, and Understanding Students Who Struggle with Math. He is an alumnus of College of the Atlantic.
The session will be from 6-7:15pm in the MDI high school library. Light refreshments will be provided. Pre-registration with Karen Shields (kshields@mdirss.org) at the MDIRSS Superintendent’s Office is greatly appreciated so we can make sure we have adequate supplies. Childcare may be available -- if you need childcare for children ages 4-8, please contact Karen Shields at 207-288-5049 by Monday, October 24. School-aged students are welcome to attend with a parent/guardian.
