Math: One of the great things that have happened as a result of the COVID-19 Outbreak is the resources now available for FREE on the internet.  University of Chicago has a program called Everyday Mathematics and right now you can download your child’s age group  activities for free to help master teaching your child the basics of math. If you have a child struggling in mathematics this is a must explore. The For Parents section is organized by grade level, so that parents can easily find resources and information most relevant to their child. Under each grade, you will find a detailed overview of the goals specific to that grade level, tables to help with homework and concepts for each unit, a Student Gallery of classroom projects and activities.  Tap into the University of Chicago STEM education and help your students get the jump on their math education.
