MAKING MATH COUNT<\/h1>\n

Just as with reading, math is a sequential learning process; it follows specific rules that build one on another like stacking blocks. \u00a0As skills are missed along the way, every block that\u2019s added becomes a little less stable; each basic skill should be mastered before moving on.<\/p>\n

When your child starts falling behind in elementary math skills, it becomes progressively more difficult to master higher academic challenges of middle and high school. \u00a0Without a solid foundation in basic math, progressing to higher math and science courses becomes ever more difficult.<\/p>\n

So what are the math skills you can count on with your child?<\/p>\n

Following are some progressive benchmarks to help gauge your child\u2019s\u00a0math skills by grade level\u00a0and build a solid foundation to ensure your child succeeds in higher math with relative ease.<\/p>\n
