Procedural Math : The Transition from KNOWING your work to SHOWING your work

Saturday August 16, 2025 2:30pm - 3:10pm CDT

This session is designed to bring you in the loop as parent partners in the Saxon phase of our mathematics curriculum here at SBSUM. The transition from conceptual to procedual math is a big change for your students, but with the right guidelines, the tools they have been equipped with in Rightstart will begin to look more polished as they are tasked with demonstrating the mental math they have been performing since Pre-K in a more logical manner. Your role as a parent will begin to shift from an mathematics instructor to a format trainer, guiding them in important concepts like proper headings, boxed answers, and labelled units. These guidelines will seem trivial to your student at first, but homework legibility is piviotal in pre-algebra all the way through advanced calculus and statistics.
