TEST TOMORROW: Worksheets and examples for Regrouping

I taught the kids a fun chant to help them remember the steps to regrouping. They love it and found it to be VERY helpful. It goes as follows:
Regrouping, Regrouping
Make a Ten and Move It, Make a Ten and Move it!
Leave the Ones, Leave the ones. Have them do the actions and voice with it…They are a hoot!!!

I used the markers and the “1st and 2nd” in an effort to let YOU know what we have been modeling and the order. (I also taught the kids BRIEFLY,  because some were ready to “Stack and Add the ones ….then Move/Carry the Ten.” I hope this helps! Happy Adding!!!
1.) Put a box around the math sentence/equation you are trying to solve so you can be thinking about it while you work.
2.) Build your model/picture
3.) THEN: Begin
Regrouping, Regrouping
Make a Ten and Move It, Make a Ten and Move it!
Leave the Ones, Leave the ones.

1- Math Homework: Lesson 25 Add and Regroup
A letter titled “Dear Family” will be sent home in your child’s green take-home-folder (Monday).  Please have your student review it as the students still need some extra work on it.  It provides an activity to do together.  Please read the letter and invite your child to share what they know about the concept by doing the activity together.

  • PLEASE HAVE STUDENTS SHOW THEIR WORK   
    • ***Parents, I need YOUR SIGNATURE on the math homework as well as your student’s, indicating you did this activity with your child**
    *These are due on Friday.  When students return this letter with their name and a parent signature (indicating a parent read it and did the activity with their child), the student will earn “Star Dust”
    • Optional: for extra math practice, play any of these Math Fact Activities 2018                                                                                                                                        
    2-Fluency Passage:
    YOU DO NOT NEED TO RETURN THE FLUENCY PASSAGE IMG_0828       
                                                                                                                                            
  •    1st- Using a yellow crayon or high lighter, have your student highlight each word in the passage they can read correctly without any help FLUENTLY.
    2nd- Go back through the passage and have a “Good Conversation” about the words they were unsure of or didn’t know. Talk about what strategies good readers use to problem solve/figure out the word. Here are a few suggestions…CVC if there is only one vowel, it USUALLY make the short vowel sound, CVCe-is there an /e/ at the end of the word that makes the first vowel say it’s name. Is there a vowel team that follows the rule…When vowel teams go a walking, the first one USUALLY does the talking  such as ee, ea, ai, oa, etc. Are there words within words like “ants” at the end of elephants…”and” in the word land…Go over the fact that they can skip the word and use the content of the sentence to help them figure out what the word is.
    3rd- Lastly, Time them for ONE, one minute timing each day.  Their accuracy/fluency should increase each time they read the sentences.
    WE are looking for how many words they are reading correctly out of how many they read and then what they can retell.
