Chapter 3

I think it would be beneficial for everyone to use the same math reference sheets. In third grade students use the same reference sheet for test taking. Perhaps this sheet could be utilized in the younger grades as well. The same layout/location of information on a sheet of paper could be used. The areas covered on this sheet could grow with the students as they develop a concept and concepts become more complex as grades go on. Students will be exposed to this at an earlier age and will be able to use this as a resource.



I feel that students need a solid foundation of math skills. They need this foundation before they can build upon and develop more complex skills. For example, they need to master simple addition skills before they are asked to multiply. Exposure to different topics in math may benefit students without memory issues, however, it may cause confusion and frustration with students that have memory issues.
