Math Resources Math is all around us and it is vitally important that our students continue to practice math each and every day. Math facts and math fluency are skills that help children with recall and automaticity, making higher-level math concepts easier to solve while preventing simple mistakes. Help us at home by allocating time each night to practice facts even in the upper grades to ensure that your child has a leg-up as they promote to the next grade level. Below are resources to assist with math facts and fluency. Math printables here. Math games here. Help us in our goal of lifting all students to proficiency and mastery at Vessels.

Open Enrollment If you or someone you know is interested in having their child attend Vessels next school year, please contact our administrative assistant Mrs. Love at blove@cypsd.org.
