It's a numbers game. The Halton District School Board will host three evening sessions to help parents understand how children develop understanding and fluency in mathematics. "Research shows students whose parents/ guardians show an interest in, and enthusiasm for, mathematics will be more likely to develop that enthusiasm themselves and persevere to Halton public school board to host math information meetings learn and succeed in math," said superintendent of education Tricia Dyson. The board continues to provide learning opportunities for parents as a key component of its elementary math strategy, which is designed to improve student achievement through approaches such as the use of computer-learning technology and mental strategies. The board's three-year plan, which began in 2013-14, focuses on leadership and understanding of effective math instruction through the minimum 300 minutes of mathematics per week received by kindergarten-Grade 8 students. Key parts of the plan involve a broad focus on improving student math achievement through increased emphasis on professional development for administrators and teachers. 19 | Friday, November 6, 2015 | OAKVILLE BEAVER | www.insideHALTON.com The goal of the strategy is to see an increase in confidence of students and teachers in their ability to go deeper into the learning process while involving parents in their child's progress through events such as math nights.
