Parent Engagement in Numeracy

Dear Parents/Guardians of students in Grades 2-6,

Are you interested in having your child engage in some fun and interactive math at home?

If so, the Halton Catholic District School Board invites you to participate in a pre-recorded learning session called “Parent Engagement in Numeracy”. During this presentation you will have an opportunity to learn about the boards messaging around the teaching of mathematics and about a new online resource that we are offering for all Grade 2-6 students in the board.

The online Math tool that we are referencing was created by Pearson Education is called “SuccessMaker”. Throughout their extensive research, they found that students made significant gains in Math after the allotted 10-16 hours of using program.

Our findings at Halton Catholic have proven to be very similar with the pilot group that initiated the program last year. Parents who listen to the presentation will receive access to the SuccessMaker online resource for 10 weeks. Information about how to access the program and register for this online tool will be provided at the end of the presentation.
