I. A SK YOUR CHILDREN QUESTIONS ABOUT THEIR C URRENT M ATH T OPIC ( S ) OF S TUDY Sample Questions/Prompts: ฀ What are you learning about in math class? ฀ Show me a problem that you solved today. ฀ How did you receive your final answer? Re-do that problem for me on another sheet of paper. ฀ What does that mean? ฀ How can you check that your answer is correct? ฀ What resources do you have to prepare for your assessment?

II. M ONITOR YOUR CHILD ’ S M ATH G RADE ฀ Pupilpath: ⚫ Pupilpath is the HCMS online gradebook which is updated weekly by teachers. ⚫ https://pupilpath.skedula.com/ ฀ Agendas: ⚫ Students should be writing their homework for each content area every day in their agendas. Check your child’s agenda to monitor their homework assignments on a daily basis.

III. U TILIZE FREE, ADDITIONAL RESOURCES FOR EXTRA PRACTICE IN MATH ฀ Learnzillion: In the search bar on the top of the page, type in your child’s math topic and grade or the standard being addressed. ( Example: “Linear Equations grade 8” ) ⚫ https://learnzillion.com/p/ ฀ Khan Academy: Have your child create a “learner” account. Then, in the search bar on the top of the page, type in your child’s math topic and grade or the standard being addressed. ⚫ https://www.khanacademy.org/

Multiple Entry Points for Special Education Students with IEPs (Individualized Education Programs) receive: Accommodations- changes in the learning environment that allow all students to learn the same content as their peers. Modifi fications- changes in what students are expected to learn and demonstrate. Annual Goals- a list of realistic and measurable academic and functional skills students can achieve by the end of the year. Least restrictive environment- taught in the same setting as students without IEPs, as much as possible, with supports and services needed to succeed. Personalized attention to their management needs.
