a few things you might be wondering

Grades K–8. Experiences are organized into K–2, 3–5, and 6–8, with Learning Connections for individual grades.

No. You can wonder together, try something, make a mistake, use a tool, or ask, “How could we figure that out?” The experiences give you ideas for where to begin.
-
Neighborhood Academy helps your child connect what they’re learning in school with their everyday life. Exploring ideas together gives them experiences they can draw on in the classroom. When children see how their learning helps them understand and do things in their own lives, it gives them a reason to see that learning as useful and worthwhile.
-
You can find great activity ideas online. What Neighborhood Academy brings is a curriculum author’s understanding of what children learn at each grade and how those ideas build over time.
That understanding shapes the experiences, questions, and Learning Connections. Each experience starts with something families actually do and helps you explore the math within it, giving your child connections to what they’re learning now and experiences they can draw on as their learning grows.
-
Each experience includes grade-specific Learning Connections so you can see how the questions and ideas connect to what your child is learning.
-
Your child's grade is a starting point. Explore the grade bands and choose questions that get your child thinking at a level that works for them.
-
The website is a resource for parents. Find an idea, then explore it together. Your child doesn't need to log in, watch lessons, or complete work online.
-
Yes. Families can use their membership with multiple children. Learning Connections help you explore the same situation with children of different ages.
