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!
- Fluency:
This week, we are working on Subtraction: “Next Door Neighbors and Near Neighbors”. 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 all 3 completed timings with your math homework at the end of the week.
Helpful Hint for Subtraction: “Next Door Neighbors and Near Neighbors”: When two numbers being subtracted from each other are near one another on the number line, we call these next door neighbors if they are consecutive numbers and near neighbors if they are two or more numbers away from each other.
For example:
19-18; these are next door neighbors and only one “house” away from each other on the number line, so the difference is one.
19-17; these are near neighbors and two “houses” away from each other on the number line, so the difference is two.
19-16; these are also near neighbors and are three “houses” away from each other on the number line, so the difference is three. - Ideas for extra math practice: Math Facts Activities
