Math Practice

Parents can help their student considerably by working on math facts at home.  Typically, students benefit more by frequent drill and practice sessions of 10 minutes, or so vs. less frequent, longer practice sessions.

Teachers at Fry may periodically conduct timed math facts tests, but it is not a wise use of our class time to routinely conduct drill and practice activities.  Our math time is primarily dedicated to new learning and high level problem solving activity.  Drill and practice of math facts is ideal for homework and parents assisting their student at home.

Principal's Perspective:  We are seeking to be a school where parents and teachers effectively communicate and work together for the benefit of our children.
