EVERYDAY MATH
Heron Pond uses the McGraw Hill Everyday Mathematics program that is aligned with the Common Core State Standards. Each student has an individual log-in and password that will been sent home to use. This is a valuable resource that I encourage students to use. Students typically enjoy going to this site to play the interactive games that help build math skills. The Student Reference Book is a fantastic resource also available to our class online. The SRB helps explain skills and concepts taught in the classroom. Everyday Math Student Link The following content strands are emphasized:
