Parental Involvement
- Help children as needed. Younger children may need more assistance.
- We recommend parents review incorrect problems each day with the child, so they do not repeatedly make the same mistakes.
- Whenever a child makes a mistake, have them “prove their work” using manipulatives. Showing the problem with the manipulatives allows them to visually see why they got the problem wrong. Compare their answer to our “visual answer key”.
Simply Smart can be used as a comprehensive curriculum, as a supplementary resource for tutoring or for homeschool coops.
