[|Everyday Mathematics]

[|Jan Brett]  =Mathematics Help/Suggestions= Everyday Mathematics is the name of the mathematics series is used at Palmer Elementary School. The math book is called the Everyday Math Journal. The math homework book is called Everyday Math Home Links. As we work on each unit in Everyday Math there will be certain pages to complete in the EM Home Links book. Math activities this year will include: = =
 * 1) Counting - counting by one's to at least 1,000; by two's to at least 100; by five's to at least 1,000; by ten's to at least 1,000; and further skip counting by three's, four's, sixes', seven's, eight's, nine's.
 * 2) Measurement - Students will be working on telling time with a clock face - not only o'clock, but quarter after, quarter before, half after, and time to the precise minute. Students will know second, minute, hour, day, week, month, year as we work on a daily calendar. Use of rulers to measure with inches and centimeters. Measurement in English (cup, pint, quart, 1/2 gallon, one gallon) to Metric (grams, liter)
 * 3) Money - Students should know all coins (penny, nickel, dime, quarter, fifty cent piece, dollar coin) and their value; paper money (one dollar, ten dollars, twenty dollars, fifty dollars, one hundred dollars) and the person on each paper denomination; plus be able to count a handful of coins - grouping like coins together (all the quarters together, etc.), counting the largest denomination of coins first and then counting in the next largest denomination (ex. count all quarters, then add in all dimes, then add in all nickels, and finally add in all pennies) until there is a grand total that can be correctly written (___c or $__ . __). Eventually the student should be able to determine if they have enough money to buy an item and the change they should receive in return.
 * 4) Place value - Students can determine place value of number(s) (ones, tens, hundreds, thousands).
 * 5) The web sites above include everyday math games and flash cards on Jan Brett.
