Mathematics
This page is devoted to helping you assist your child in his/her homework. In Everyday Mathematics you will find some alternative algorithms. These algorithms are different than the ones you probably learned when you were in third grade. Each algorithm has a powerpoint and a movie that gives an explanation for each of the various algorithms so that you can help your child with his/her homework.
