Mountain MathOctober 7, 2013
What is mountain math?
• Mountain Math and Mountain Language Kits are colorful, year-round, and reusable bulletin boards. They are a review program that supplement whatever program you are using. Mountain Math and Mountain Language, in and of themselves, are not a total program. They are to be used to aid in review and retention of previously taught concepts.
When do I use Mountain Math?
• Mountain math can be used as part of Every Day Math—it counts as part of the 90 minutes
• Should only be about 10-15 minutes a day

• Have them do it with a partner, or pair two grades together an older student with a younger student
