We are in our ninth year since the Bridges Math Program has been adopted by our school district and our testing results are showing positive data k-5th. Bridges allows math students to be challenged with many new strategies throughout our units. Periodically, I will be updating my "Helpful Websites Tab" and linking pages for parents and students to utilize to help support students with these new strategies along with other skills and topics listed below.
Throughout our school year we will be studying many challenging topics in class. Quick recall of basic facts for addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division are essential and give students an advantage with these challenging topics.
