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: This week, we are working on “Subtracting From Ten”. 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.
Here’s how we’re learning the strategy of “Subtracting From Ten” in class:
We have learned that knowing an addition fact can help us subtract if it’s a related fact. For example, if we know that 4 + 6 = 10, then we know 10 – 6 = 4 and 10 – 4 = 6 because they are related facts and use the same numbers. If we have memorized all the ways to “Make a Ten”, then we also know all the ways to “Subtract from Ten”. Emphasize that these related facts use the exact same numbers (part + part = whole and whole – part = part).
