Worksheets: Please look in your child’s blue folder on Monday for worksheets with concepts that have been taught in class.  The purpose of this homework is for a quick review, some practice, and a chance for parents to see what their child is learning in math.  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!  Please help your child read the directions/example problems and allow them to talk about the problems as they figure out the answers. Please check your child’s answers for accuracy!

With the fluency timing in the plastic sheet protector (“Adding Two’s and Three’s), use a dry-erase marker to practice repeatedly.  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).]  If your child frustrates too easily because it takes too long to complete, have them practice for 2-5 minutes (you can be the judge) and write down how many they finished in that time.  Encourage your child to keep improving on their own score, rather than expecting them to reach the target goal yet.  Click here for extra timings: Fluency Timings

For extra practice, utilize any of these math-fact-activities. Front Row Ed and Xtra Math are great tools for practice.
