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 working on “Doubles”. 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-Thursday. Record your time and score on the paper and turn in all 4 completed timings with your math homework at the end of the week. [Emphasize improvement on personal time, rather than finishing within a minute.] It’s so helpful to memorize these!
Here’s how we’re learning to make mental pictures of the doubles in our head:
2 + 2 = 4 Picture a wagon with 2 wheels on each side and 4 wheels total
3 + 3 = 6 Picture a 6 pack of soft drinks, with 3 cans on each side
4 + 4 = 8 Picture a spider with 4 legs on each side and 8 legs total
5 + 5 = 10 Picture 5 fingers on each hand and 10 fingers total
6 + 6 = 12 Picture a dozen of eggs with 6 eggs in each row and 12 eggs total
7 + 7 = 14 Picture two weeks on a calendar with 7 days in each week and 14 days total
8 + 8 = 16 Picture a 16 pack of crayons with 8 crayons in each row and 16 crayons total
9 + 9 = 18 Picture a semi (18 wheeler) with 9 wheels on each side and 18 wheels total
10 + 10 = 20 Picture all your fingers and toes for a total of 20
