A major focus of the new standards is answering the question "Why?" and proving your answer. When asking your child a question, ask them to not only provide an answer, but to explain their answer.
Language Arts
While reading, students are asked to prove their answers with evidence from the text.
Math
Students will learn a variety of strategies and methods to choose from when solving problems. Students are asked to explain the steps taken to arrive at the answer. They will also practice giving a rationale for their chosen method.
