This document provides an outline for a parent workshop on the Grade 1-5 math curriculum. It includes an overview of the key strands covered in math including number, data handling, measurement, shape and space, and pattern and function. An example investigation is presented that has students plan a carnival day budget which reinforces addition, subtraction and time telling concepts. The workshop will also allow parents to observe the curriculum in action during classroom time from 9:00-9:55am.
