Math: We finished Chapter 11 and I am proud to say, overall, the children did very well. I recommend you continue to work with your first grader (soon to be second grader) on his/her math facts. This will help with our next Chapter, which we have already started. Chapter 12 focuses on using two-digit addition and subtraction. The children used tens blocks to help explore this concept. An example would be 3 tens + 2 tens = 5 tens. We will use the strategy of counting on to add two digit numbers. The children will also problem solve using two digit addition. Please practice math facts, up to 18, with your child at home. A great website for this is aaamath.com.
