Math Homework:
- 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!
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 REVIEWING “Count On 1, 2, or 3”. 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, Monday-Tuesday. Record your time and score on the paper and turn in both completed timings with your math homework on Wednesday. [Emphasize improvement on personal time, rather than finishing within a minute.]
Helpful Hint: Here’s how we’re learning to “count on” in class: Start with the bigger number and count on (Example: 13 + 3. Snap your finger (or clap) and say “13” then count on 3 more: say 13 (with a snap)…14…15…16)
Ideas for extra math practice: Math Facts Activities
Reading 20 minutes per day. Reading comprehension strategy: Help your child read a story, identify the characters and setting of the story. (Reading only. Due to the shortened school week, there is nothing to turn in for Language Arts).
