Math Resource Bags

Dear Families,


We would like to share a math resource bag with all of our JVPS families.  This resource bag went home with students on Monday April 3, 2017.  We are hoping that parents will use the resource bag to continue to help their children to inspire them and support them at home when engaged in math activities.  The resource bag was part of a take away for parents from our Parent Math Night on March 30. 

Parent engagement matters. Study after study has shown us that student achievement improves when parents play an active role in their children’s education and that good schools become even better schools when parents are involved. 

Again, we hope this math resource bag will provide useful suggestions for parents and that students will benefit from and enjoy studying mathematics.

Parent Math Night at JVPS

Our Parent Math Night was a great success.  Parents received many tips on how to work with their children at home to continue to inspire their children to love math.

Parents learned to:

  • establish consistent homework routines
  • engage their children in math talk about what the children learn in class
  • encourage their children to take risks and explain their problem-solving skills





For parents who attended the Math Night, if you have not already filled out the feedback survey for the Parent Math Night, please follow the link below to complete the survey.
