I’m excited to share that our class is using Zearn Math this school year. Zearn Math is a top-rated math
curriculum that personalizes learning for each student. With Zearn Math, your child will learn and
practice math concepts in two ways – Small Group Instruction with me and Independent Digital
Lessons. By learning in these two rotations everyday, every student in our classroom will deeply learn
the big ideas of math for our grade.

• While working through Independent Digital Lessons, your child will learn and practice new
concepts at his/her own pace. Independent Digital Lessons include fun warm-ups to build math
foundations, interactive videos to learn new concepts, paper and pencil work to transfer learning,
and lots of supportive, precise, and personalized feedback.

• During Small Group Instruction with me, each student discusses their reasoning aloud, works
with concrete objects to demonstrate their thinking, and receives feedback on their
understanding. Teaching in a smaller group allows me to do an even a better job meeting the
specific needs of your child.

I encourage you to explore Zearn Math with your child to learn more.

Visit www.zearn.org and enter your child’s username and password. Their password can be found inside their planner on the back of the front cover. Listed below is our class code:

Here are some questions to ask your child to support their learning with Zearn Math!

• What did you discuss with your teacher and friends in math small group time?
  • What concrete materials did you get to learn with in Small Group today?
  • What are your favorite parts of a Digital Lesson?
  • When you get a challenging problem, how do you work through it?
