Math Book Information

Stefanie has left a new comment on your post "Is this District Approved? Having no Book to Study...":

All grade level math should be covered by all classes but the materials will probably vary from class to class. Some teachers follow the enVision textbook and workbook page by page, they may add in supplemental materials (Xeroxes), others may not follow the textbook or workbook so closely and use more separate sheets. I don't know how much of a difference not using the textbook or workbook will make as long as all the math concepts are covered.

I agree that the Xeroxes are cumbersome to keep track of – you might want to get a binder or folder to keep them in. The upside is that they are more durable than the workbook pages which seem to rip every time my child erases them. The workbook only offers limited practice so supplemental Xeroxes with more examples on a topic are probably a good thing.

The district created pamphlets that specify elementary grade math concepts - it's online on the district website - this is the link to the 4th grade math curriculum

This aligns with New York State standards which are available here: http://www.emsc.nysed.gov/3-8/MathCore.pdf
Sample state assessment tests are available here: http://www.nysedregents.org/testing/eleminttests.html

The 4th grade enVision textbook is available online. You should have received information to access it. You can ask your child's teacher for their username and password. It is easy to navigate and there are practice tests and reteaching tools you might find helpful.

Also, copies of the enVision textbooks are in the Children's Center of the public library if you would like to look at them.

You might like AAAMath to be helpful for extra math practice – it’s online - this is the link
