The Six-Year Build: Why Math Looks Different and Where the Algorithms Come From 

Thursday, October 1                                                         Hayden Performing Arts Center | 8:25a.m.

Parents Grades K-5

Have you ever watched your child do math and thought, "That’s not how I learned it?" You are right. Learning math looks different today, but the destination has not changed. The journey has, and it follows a cohesive progression.

You are invited to a hands-on session exploring how math builds across the elementary years, why the sequence matters, and what it means to truly understand a concept, not simply repeat the steps.
