Tips
Tips: Ask Audrey to explain one Mathseeds problem aloud and describe how she knew which strategy to use. Create a short real-life challenge, such as calculating prices while shopping or measuring ingredients, connected to the skill she practiced. Invite her to keep a simple progress journal with the lesson topic, one success, and one question. To make learning interactive, have Audrey teach a family member one Mathseeds strategy using paper, counters, or drawings.
