THURSDAY NOVEMBER 13th
Parent Math Night (adults only) featuring Dr.
David DeCoste
Panorama Hills School Gymnasium
7:00 – 8:00 pm
We are very fortunate to be able to invite Dr. David
DeCoste to our Panorama Hills School parent community where he
will share his expertise and understanding of Alberta
Education’s Mathematics Education. Dr. David DeCoste supported teachers
in Panorama Hills School last year in developing understanding and
creating curriculum for the math program of studies. We hope you will be
able to attend our evening.
The purpose of the evening will build on our belief that…
•
Understanding the value of mathematics education involves
many steps.
•
Mathematical skills, along with reading and writing,
are fundamental to your child’s success both in school and beyond the
classroom.
•
To ensure that your child is prepared for high school and
for future post-secondary studies or the workforce, you must become
involved early—and stay involved over the school years—to reinforce your
child’s skills and positive attitudes toward mathematics.
•
Parents play a huge role in their child’s education.
By encouraging a positive attitude, building persistence, playing fun
games, reading and involving your child in meaningful real life
mathematics, your child will truly succeed.
•
Use math confidently to solve problems
•
Reason and communicate mathematically
•
Appreciate and value mathematics
•
Make connections between mathematics and its applications
•
Commit themselves to lifelong learning
•
Become mathematically literate adults using mathematics to
contribute to society
It’s
a big goal, but very attainable – with your help. Parents play a huge role
in their child’s education. By encouraging a positive attitude, building
persistence, playing fun games, reading and involving your child in meaningful
real life mathematics, your child will truly succeed.
