Educating Our Parents: Understanding the Mapleton District Curriculum
Problem-solving is at the core of the educational approach promoted by the Utah Core Standards. Therefore, concepts and skills are taught in ways that reinforce their application. When students are practicing their reading skills, for instance, they are asked to read a text without excessive advanced preparation and are encouraged to go back into the text and figure out what additional information they need, or to ask questions to gain clarity.
This more closely approximates how people deal with written information in college classes and in their lives after education, and helps students build skills to succeed in those circumstances. Similarly, mathematical principles are taught with an emphasis on applications. The various types of mathematics are taught in an integrated manner, in order to make sure that the links between them are clear. Students are also given the opportunity to apply their mathematical learning to concrete situations, in order to understand the purposes math serves

Chalk Talk: Building Problem-Solving Skills
Your student will be focused on solving problems in school related to the material they are learning: answering questions, figuring out connections, and applying concepts. Why not help them practice those skills at home? Ask them how they would go about figuring out how to resolve an issue, or ask them to propose a plan to deal with a daily process. Let them test that plan, and then help them figure out how to improve it. Even if the skills they are practicing aren’t ones they learned in school, the method of identifying an issue, testing solutions, and settling on one that works will serve them well throughout their education, and their life.
