Mountain Math October 7, 2013

What is mountain math? Mountain Math and Mountain Language Kits are colorful, year-round, and reusable bulletin boards. They are a review program that supplement whatever program you are using. Mountain Math and Mountain Language, in and of themselves, are not a total program. They are to be used to aid in review and retention of previously taught concepts.

When do I use Mountain Math? Mountain math can be used as part of Every Day Math—it counts as part of the 90 minutes Should only be about minutes a day Can be used as a center Can do one or two problems as a morning message
