  Case: Help! They Have Homework!
With the Common Core Math standards, there are many new methods of solving problems, and students are learning those new ways daily in class. Students take home their math homework, and parents are clueless about how to help their students complete it. How do you educate parents on the new ways of doing math and discourage them from only teaching their children the algorithms or formulas for solving problems?
Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!)
If possible, send home the notes your students took that day. Also, post or send home resources that can help the parents understand. A quick Youtube video can go a long way!

Comments: I agree sending notes on how to complete the problems is the best solution, since some families do not have access to the resources necessary to watch video tutorials or view PowerPoints. Online videos and notes can also be provided, but is important physical paper copies of notes are also provided for families without Internet access.
