MathHW.net Contents for Parents
The Parent section provides a gateway to both student resources and teacher resources organized for parent use. The Course Resources provide links to content specific areas where the objectives of the course are accessible to students as well as practice and review materials. Parents can also get an idea of how the Mathematical Practices may be applied.

The [tabs] at the top of the page provide access into Teacher and Parent areas to help provide them with a shared understanding of the Common Core Standards and the Standards for Mathematical Practice.

[EdCamp] EdCamps are a new way for teachers to share expertise during professional development activities. The EdCamp resources can introduce parents to strategies or technologies used by teachers and will help parents connect to the classroom.
[Common Core] Provides information about future and past Common Core related events and resources specific to the standards.
[Standards for Mathematical Practice] The standards define not just the content that is to be taught but also provides standards for how students should experience mathematics. The [Standards for Mathematical Practice] page provides a user-friendly version of the 8 practices:
  1. Make sense of problems and persevere in solving them.
  2. Reason abstractly and quantitatively.
  3. Construct viable arguments and critique the reasoning of others.
  4. Model with mathematics.
  5. Use appropriate tools strategically.
  6. Attend to precision.
  7. Look for and make use of structure.
  8. Look for and express regularity in repeated reasoning.
