Educating Our Parents: Understanding the Lysander District Curriculum
Instruction in Lysander math classes is based on a set of standards that seek to develop students’ understanding of basic mathematics concepts such as numeration, problem solving, and abstract thinking. For instance, students learn to find the areas and circumferences of circles and the surface area of 3 dimensional shapes. They also learn to do scale drawings, graph proportional relationships and learn how to use data findings to answer questions.
Instruction in Lysander English Language Arts classes is based on a set of standards that require students to be able to read closely and attentively in a wide range of fiction and non-fiction texts. It uses close and attentive reading as basis on which to develop other literacy skills, such as writing, speaking, and listening. Media viewing and conducting research are also emphasized in the curriculum and help students apply their critical thinking skills to texts and media works that are of interest to them.

Chalk Talk: Was to Help a Student with Math
Math can be a tough subject for a lot of students, especially in the early going. The abstract nature of dealing with numbers on a page does not fit every learning style. If you are working with a student who is having trouble with math, take the number off the page and put them in his or her hands. Give the student something hat he or she can feel, like small blocks, pennies, or pieces of paper. When the student begins working simple math problems with things he or she can touch, he or she will begin to understand that numbers on a page can represent something that’s real and tactile. In later years, math may be more complicated than a parent is able to keep up with, and considering a math tutor may be exactly what the student needs to truly understand the content. This will help the student get over the hump of abstract thinking, and to begin working his or her way to mathematics literacy, and confidence.
