Fluency means more than just getting the right answer—it is the ability to work with numbers flexibly, efficiently, and with confidence. Students are exploring different approaches such as breaking numbers apart, using known facts, and applying mental math strategies to solve problems in ways that make sense to them. By developing these skills, students deepen their understanding of numbers and become more confident, adaptable mathematicians. Below are some of the strategies your child is learning at school—ask them which strategy they are currently working on!</span></p><p class="editor-paragraph" dir="ltr"><br></p><p class="editor-paragraph"><img src="/images/e4bc0b3b-47c4-4c91-88f6-f3e783dfa4a5?fingerprint=ppb20260325143234" alt="Screenshot 2026 03 25 103029" width="100%" height="inherit" style="width:100%;height:inherit;display:inline-block"></p><p class="editor-paragraph"><img src="/images/68ef2119-3b97-41d2-93ed-37e65be063f2?fingerprint=ppb20260325143418" alt="Screenshot 2026 03 25 103117 Copy" width="100%" height="inherit" style="width:100%;height:inherit;display:inline-block"></p><p class="editor-paragraph"><img src="/images/db474f59-86bd-4279-888a-aa4648c481f3?fingerprint=ppb20260325143417" alt="Screenshot 2026 03 25 103128 Copy" width="100%" height="inherit" style="width:100%;height:inherit;display:inline-block"></p><p class="editor-paragraph"><img src="/images/6b5edf8e-65f3-4857-a0f7-77acf91ac889?fingerprint=ppb20260325143418" alt="Screenshot 2026 03 25 103141" width="100%" height="inherit" style="width:100%;height:inherit;display:inline-block"></p><p class="editor-paragraph" dir="ltr"><br></p><hr><h2 class="editor-heading-h2" dir="ltr"><span style="white-space: pre-wrap;">PlayYGK!

Fluency means more than just getting the right answer—it is the ability to work with numbers flexibly, efficiently, and with confidence. Students are exploring different approaches such as breaking numbers apart, using known facts, and applying mental math strategies to solve problems in ways that make sense to them. By developing these skills, students deepen their understanding of numbers and become more confident, adaptable mathematicians. Below are some of the strategies your child is learning at school—ask them which strategy they are currently working on!</span></p><p class="editor-paragraph" dir="ltr"><br></p><p class="editor-paragraph"><img src="/images/e4bc0b3b-47c4-4c91-88f6-f3e783dfa4a5?fingerprint=ppb20260325143234" alt="Screenshot 2026 03 25 103029" width="100%" height="inherit" style="width:100%;height:inherit;display:inline-block"></p><p class="editor-paragraph"><img src="/images/68ef2119-3b97-41d2-93ed-37e65be063f2?fingerprint=ppb20260325143418" alt="Screenshot 2026 03 25 103117 Copy" width="100%" height="inherit" style="width:100%;height:inherit;display:inline-block"></p><p class="editor-paragraph"><img src="/images/db474f59-86bd-4279-888a-aa4648c481f3?fingerprint=ppb20260325143417" alt="Screenshot 2026 03 25 103128 Copy" width="100%" height="inherit" style="width:100%;height:inherit;display:inline-block"></p><p class="editor-paragraph"><img src="/images/6b5edf8e-65f3-4857-a0f7-77acf91ac889?fingerprint=ppb20260325143418" alt="Screenshot 2026 03 25 103141" width="100%" height="inherit" style="width:100%;height:inherit;display:inline-block"></p><p class="editor-paragraph" dir="ltr"><br></p><hr><h3 class="editor-heading-h3" dir="ltr"><span style="white-space: pre-wrap;">School Council</span></h3><p class="editor-paragraph" dir="ltr"><br></p><p class="editor-paragraph" dir="ltr"><span style="white-space: pre-wrap;">The focus of School Council is to meet to discuss events and fundraisers at CBPS, bring up issues with administration, and plan special opportunities for students and families.
