Homework for September 26th-30th

Worksheets: Please look in the front of your child’s  green folder on Monday for worksheets with concepts that will be 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!

Please print off the “three’s” timings this week from the Fluency Timing link below. Just do a half sheet/day (25 problems). You shouldn’t print off more than 2 pages/4 timings. I would suggest that you place it in a plastic sheet protector, then  have your child practice these facts repeatedly using a dry-erase marker.  Time your student for 1.15 minutes, record their time and score each day at the top of the paper (Again, I have 2/page) attach and return it on Friday.  If your child frustrates too easily because it takes too long to complete, have them practice for 2-3 MINUTES TOTAL (you can be the judge) and write down how many they finished in that time.  By the end of 1st grade, the target goal is to finish the timings in 1 minute and 15 seconds, with 90% accuracy (23 out of 25 problems correct). Encourage your child to keep improving on their own score, rather than expecting them to reach the target goal yet.  We have a whole year to reach it through consistent practice!  Click here for extra timings: Fluency Timings
