This year we will be using Bridges. There are two workbooks. One is the Student book, which is where we will do our daily practice. The second book is the Home Connections book, which is where the homework will be.
We will be doing a lot of grouping and sharing of strategies throughout the year. We will supplement Bridges with other activities as well, such as Tenmarks and extension activities.
The standards on the report card are as follows:
Operations and Algebraic Thinking
Number and Operations in Base Ten
Number and Operations - Fractions
Measurement and Data
Geometry
There are family letters for each unit that goes over how to do the strategies that we teach in Bridges. The links to the letters are below. They are a great resource!

The Bridges Math Learning Center features free apps that are based on the models used in the Bridges curriculum. You can use them on a web browser or download them to a mobile device.
