Math: This week we will finish Chapter 11 on addition and subtraction. We will begin Chapter 12 which focuses on using two-digit addition and subtraction. The children will use tens blocks to help explore this concept. An example would be 3 tens + 2 tens = 5 tens. The will also be able to give different names for a number (Ex. 60 can be shown as 6 tens or 5 tens and 10 ones). Please continue to reinforce the different strategies we learned at school (counting on, using 10 and doubles). All these strategies will help your first grader add quickly and accurately. Please practice math facts, up to 18, with your child at home. A great website for this is aaamath.com.
