MATH TIPS

Click here to start presentation

Parents are asked to help their children with math homework throughout their child's education.  Sometimes, parents do not have the information they need to help with homework.  To assist you we have compiled a Quick Tip presentation that can be easily accessed.  We've included basic formulas, a glossary of mathematical and geometrical terms and tables of units of measure.
