Sunshine+Math

__ *Sunshine Math* __ **Welcome to Sunshine Math!!! Sunshine Math is a wonderful mathematics and problem-solving enrichment program opportunity for students in grades K-5. Participation is strictly mandatory and is worth 5% of the math grade for all students. Our students are not given a grade for how many they got right or wrong, but instead earn the 5% based on turning in the worksheet each week. Students will receive a participation grade-//__100% for completion and 50% for incompletion.__// All they have to do is try their best and turn it in to receive full credit.**  **Students may download worksheets each week. Worksheets are due at the end of the week (see posted dates). Each problem is ranked according to its level of difficulty. The number of stars you see beside a problem indicates the level of difficulty. Volunteers will check the worksheets and they will be returned.**  **Parent’s role in Math Superstars is to encourage and facilitate your child’s problem solving skills. Feel free to suggest a strategy for solving the problem, offer counters or manipulatives, or listen as your child shares her or his thinking, but please DO NOT GIVE THE ANSWERS.** **It is normal for a child NOT to be able to complete every problem on a worksheet. Remind your child that he or she is not expected to know the answer to every problem, just to try their best.**  __ **Requirements:** __ **Students are required to complete all of their worksheets and the more stars they earn the more prizes they will receive!** **THANK YOU FOR ALLOWING YOUR CHILD TO EMBARK ON THIS MATHEMATICAL ADVENTURE!** **If you have further questions about the program or would like to volunteer to facilitate the program, please contact Mrs. Rita Vazquez at rvazquez@somersetacademy.com**  *Our 3rd grade link is:** **http://www.somersetacademy.com/Sunshine_3rd.html** **  //*We are in the process of updating our webpage.
