HELP!! With Everyday Math

Everyday Mathematics - The University of Chicago School Mathematics Project

Everyday Math....what is it??  This is a math curriculum designed by The University of Chicago that was designed to focus on real life problem solving that encourages students to explain and discuss their way of thinking.  Okay, so where are the instructions when it comes time to help your student with their math homework???  I have asked the same question myself, because this math series comes with little to no instruction on some of the daily home and study links that students have to complete for homework.  It is hard to know what they have done that day in school because their homework is jumbled with a variety of math problems and that can be confusing for someone who is with them only once a week.  So, I have gathered up some resources on the net to help anyone else out there who feels frusturated when it comes time to help with this particular math homework

Overall great website with lots of resourceful help

As I pop in and out of classrooms, feel free to stop and ask any questions you have about the homework or math questions.  I will do my very best to help, but I myself, find that seeking outside resources for this program seem to be a great way to find that extra help you might need.
