= Welome to our Math Wiki The purpose of this wiki will be to communicate general information about our math program. Mathematics education has changed over the years, and the purpose of assignments and activities is to build understanding of the mathematical thinking behind solving problems. We no longer drill and kill algorithms that lead to mastery of rule following, but rather we explore problem situations, and make connections to prior learning through patterns and number sense to solve these problems. This leads to a child that can then fluently follow an algorithm because they understand why the algorithm has worked. The wiki will be broken into our "Home" page and then each unit will have its own page. These links can be found on the left side bar. The home page will discuss the overall philosophy, while each unit page will speak specifically to the learning in each unit. We hope you find this useful and enjoyable. Thank You,  The Kindergarten and First Grade Teams  =
