1- Math Homework: Please check your child’s answers for accuracy!
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: “Doubles”. 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 Facts Activities. There is also a copy provided in your blue folder.
Helpful Hints: Use our mental pictures and/or Doubles Rap if they help you memorize your Doubles!
