The bare minimum in concepts and computation (preschool to eighth grade).

It’s been another week of working from home (or being forced to work from home) and it’s a complicated blend of terrific perks and countless distractions. 

Thankfully, there are ways to keep your head on straight, even when the dog’s barking to be fed and those chocolate brownies hidden in the cupboard above the fridge are calling your name. 

Oh those chocolate brownies!.

This past week has been a rough one. So much is happening; it’s hard to keep up. When I heard about the recent COVID-19 updates, I realized that we are going to be in school, work and travel restrictions for a long time to come. Longer than we originally imagined. 

So many thoughts are running through my head: what does it all mean to me and the people around me?

I’m teaching virtual Orton Gillingham Math classes online. 

That’s working well, so what else can I do to help?

Well, to start with I’ve received a lot more email and questions about math lately.  I guess that’s no surprise. 

Parents are homeschooling their children. Teachers are teaching remote classes online. In many cases, teachers may have been assigned to new math classrooms and students  they haven’t taught before. Some parents and teachers are discovering their children have gaps in their basic math skills. It makes it difficult for them to complete current grade level assignments. They’re missing important basic math skills. 

It’s frustrating for teachers and parents, and virtual learning support teams. They’re reaching out for  help.

The 3 most common questions they ask are:

What math skills should my child or student have mastered in their current grade? 

How do I know if  she is on track? 

Can OG Academic Math be taught in a virtual online format?

The answer to the last question  is YES!  And I’ll follow up with a post about teaching virtual OG Math lessons in the next week. Watch for it in your inbox.

I’ll answer the first 2 questions today and provide a free math resource you can use right now. 

Never one for short titles, I’ve called it:

AN ADULT’S GUIDE TO MATHEMATICS FOR CHILDREN, 

A Math Resource for Teachers and Parents.

The accomplishments listed in your copy are meant to be completed by the end of each grade level (preschool to grade 8). This list has been compiled from standard texts as well as through my personal experience in teaching.

The tasks represent those that the average child should be learning in each grade whether in school or through homeschooling lesson.

 Before working with children with previous math difficulties, ensure basic skills are intact from previous grades. That’s why this guide was created; to help me drill down to the essential numeracy skills, math concepts and operations that my students need in order  build a firm foundation going forward to higher grades.

It is not a recommendation for a new math curriculum, and it isn’t meant to be taken as a criticism of any curriculum. I am not a curriculum expert.  I just know the foundational skills that will help my students move forward in math with competency and confidence.

And if you know students with an aptitude for math, they should be encouraged to work well beyond this level.
