Kindergarten: Decompose numbers less than or equal to 10 into pairs in more than one way, e.g., by using objects or drawings, and record each decomposition by a drawing or equation (e.g., 5 = 2 + 3 and 5 = 4 + 1).

The cost of 3 pairs of socks and 4 T-shirts is 66.00. Each T-shirt costs twice as much as a pair of socks. a) What is the cost of each pair of socks? b) What is the cost of each T-shirt?

11 units represent $66.00 Find what 1 unit represents to find the cost of each pair of socks. Find what 2 units represent to find the cost of each T-shirt.

Math in Focus is being implemented only in grades K – 2. How will my child benefit when he/ she is in grade 3 or above? The Common Core Learning Standards in Math are being implemented in all grade levels, not just grades K - 2. The differences are going to be seen in the materials (textbooks, workbooks, manipulatives), but not in the instruction.

What if I cannot help my child with the math homework, particularly word problems?

If your child is struggling, ask some guiding questions: What is this question asking? What information do you have? What information do you need? How do you think you should start? How did your teacher explain this? Your children will NOT be penalized for not completing the HW, as long as they did their personal best to try every problem.
