In Focus

Brown Elementary School held a “mighty math hour” on Nov. 6 to present parents and students in grades kindergarten through five with helpful math strategies. School administrators, teachers and instructional specialists held 10 sessions on touch math, test-taking tips, time and money management and math games parents could use at home to help their children better learn math skills.
