Conceptual Math Levels A/B/C/D
Saturday August 15, 2026 10:35am - 11:25am CDT
Our Right Start math program emphasizes understanding math concepts prior to memorizing math facts. This Asian approach to teaching math in the early years serves students well for years to come as they learn to think of math as a language that can be expressed with practice. The daily engagement in math games helps students to master these concepts in a developmentally appropriate format. Come and learn to teach math through play rather than with merely worksheets and flashcards. ​Video Recording​​​

Procedural Math : The Transition from KNOWING your work to SHOWING your work
Saturday August 15, 2026 2:25pm - 3:15pm CDT
This session is designed to bring you in the loop as parent partners in the Saxon phase of our mathematics curriculum here at SBSUM. The transition from conceptual to procedual math is a big change for your students, but with the right guidelines, the tools they have been equipped with in Rightstart will begin to look more polished as they are tasked with demonstrating the mental math they have been performing since Pre-K in a more logical manner. Your role as a parent will begin to shift from an mathematics instructor to a format trainer, guiding them in important concepts like proper headings, boxed answers, and labelled units. These guidelines will seem trivial to your student at first, but homework legibility is pivotal in pre-algebra all the way through advanced calculus and statistics. ​Video Recording​​​
