McCarthy Math Academy

Hey Teachers! The summer is so close, you can almost taste it!

I bet you have families asking what they can do to help keep math skills strong over the summer...


This might be a great option to share with them!


Even if they aren’t asking yet… they’re probably thinking about it.


Feel free to share with your families (and 2nd grade teachers too!)

👀 Sneak peek at tomorrow’s 4th Grade Math Help with Ms. McCarthy problem! ⬇️

At first glance, these two problems look almost identical 👀
But one calls for subtraction… and the other calls for multiplication 🤯

Can your 4th grader spot the difference before jumping into the math?

This is exactly where students get tripped up—when the numbers stay the same, but the meaning of the fraction changes.

In tomorrow’s episode, I break both problems down using visual fraction models to help students slow down, interpret the situation, and choose the correct operation with confidence.

👀 Sneak peek at tomorrow’s 5th Grade Math Help with Ms. McCarthy problem! ⬇️

How long does it take your 5th grader to make sense of this? 🤔

“One half the product of 12 and 6, added to the difference of 9 from 20.”

Sounds simple… until students have to slow down, unpack the math language, and turn it into a numerical expression that actually makes sense.

Can your 4th grader solve this… without getting stuck on regrouping? 🤔

Subtracting mixed numbers sounds simple—until you actually have to borrow across the whole number and the fraction. That’s where things usually fall apart.
