1- Math Homework:
- Worksheets: Please look in your child’s blue folder on Tuesday 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. Fluency Timings: This week, we are working on “Subtract Zero and All”. Emphasize this strategy: “When you subtract zero, you have the same number left. When you subtract all, you have zero left”. With your timing in the plastic sheet protector (included in your blue folder), use a dry-erase marker to practice. When you’re ready, have a parent time you while you complete all 20 problems with pencil (write directly on the paper this time). Work on 1 timing each day, Tuesday-Thursday. Record your time and score on the paper and turn in at least 3 completed timings with your math homework at the end of the week. [The target goal is to finish all 20 problems in 1 minute, with 90% accuracy (18 out of 20 problems correct).]
- Please find and read the information on “fact fluency” and corresponding Math Facts Activities included in your child’s blue folder. These explain fluency practice in more detail and include ideas for extra math practice.
3- Reading 20 minutes per day. No need to submit minutes at this time, but we strongly encourage you to make reading a priority.
