Have Fun playing with Math at home!
Computation involves solving problems using numbers and operations. At Green Meadow students from Pre-K-3 are solving problems by adding, subtracting, multiplying and dividing too!
We encounter math in many aspects of everyday life.
When we quantify, or say how many, we use numbers to mathemitize the world.
When we calculate, or compute, we use numbers to solve problems.
Math is everywhere, enjoy noticing, talking and thinking about math with your children.

Problem Solving
Encourage your child to figure out answers to real-life situations: “We have one can of tuna and we need five. How many more do we need to buy?”
Ask questions that involve equal sharing, for example, “Seven children share 49 baseball cards. How many cards does each child get?”
Have questions? Please email our Math Coach, Terri Morrison at tmorrison@maynard.k12.ma.us.
We have a lot of students and staff who are excited by the start of the baseball season! In the spirit of the Red Sox home opener on Friday, April 4, we will host a Baseball Day on Thursday, April 3. Students are invited to wear something that represents their favorite baseball team (Maynard Tiger, Boston Red Sox, or another team). We will be rooting on the Red Sox in our pajamas on Friday!
Green Meadow students have been very busy reading and talking about books during our Read Across America Challenge! We will share more about exactly how many minutes students have been reading next week but we wanted to remind you that our challenge culminates with an All-School Pajama Day on Friday, April 4th!
Students can return their challenge suitcases through Wednesday, April 2, to be entered into the prize drawing. We will have a winner from each classroom!
A huge shout out to our Grade 3 Choir students for their performance at the Maynard Public Schools Pyramid Concert at Maynard High School on Thursday. Students volunteered to be part of the choir and attended rehearsals during part of their recess time. They performed three songs and then had the opportunity to watch the 8th grade and high school choirs perform. It was a wonderful evening and we are very proud of our Green Meadow participants. Special thanks to our music teacher, Natalie Wong, for bringing the idea to the district and dedicating time to the Grade 3 Choir.
It is not uncommon for kids to get discouraged when learning new things that are particularly challenging. At Green Meadow, we talk a lot about having a “growth mindset”, understanding that one’s abilities can be developed with sustained effort, AND how making mistakes help us learn. We also call this “power of yet”. Check out this graphic for ideas to help your child reframe their frustrations by using a growth mindset and read here about how parents can instill a growth mindset at home. Additional SEL resources can be found on the Green Meadow Social Emotional Learning Resources website.
