Welcome:
Welcome to SUNSHINE MATH, this program is designed to enhance your child’s journey through mathematics. SUNSHINE MATH is a math enrichment program sponsored by Somerset Academy.
Our Mission:
To offer all students the opportunity to challenge themselves in all types of math concepts by providing additional learning activities.
Our Vision:
To give students of all ability levels a chance to extend themselves beyond the mathematics curriculum and become more confident in math.
SUNSHINE MATH is a wonderful mathematics and problem-solving enrichment program opportunity for students in grades K-5. PARTICIPATION IS MANDATORY.
Students will 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 to the teachers.
Parent’s role in SUNSHINE MATH 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 and this is a voluntary program.
THANK YOU FOR ALLOWING YOUR CHILD TO EMBARK ON THIS MATHEMATICAL ADVENTURE!
If you have further questions about the program or would like to be added to the program volunteer list after the beginning of the school year, please contact Mrs. Rita Vazquez at rvazquez@somersetacademy.com.
