• Worksheets: Please complete every other problem (alternate between evens and odds so your child gets practice doing story problems AND “Vocabulary Check”/ “Test Practice” problems each week).  If your child wants to do every problem they are certainly free to do so! 🙂 

• Practice your fluency timing repeatedly: “Counting Back”.  Record your best time and score each day. [By the end of first grade, the target goal is to finish all 25 problems in 1 minute and 15 seconds, with 90% accuracy (23 out of 25 problems correct).]  Click here for extra timings: Fluency Timings

• For extra practice, utilize any of these math-fact-activities. There is also a copy provided in your blue folder.

Helpful Hint:  Count backwards when subtracting 1, 2, or 3: Start with the bigger number and count backwards (Example: 8 – 3.  Snap your finger and say “8″ and count backwards 3 times: say 8 (snap)…7…6…5).  For numbers close to each other on the number line (i.e. 9-7), picture how close they are on the number line (i.e. 9 and 7 are 2 “frog hops” away from each other).  Some facts just need to be memorized!
