Math Update

This week in math, we reviewed Unit 6, and the children took their math assessment. The children brought home their Everyday Math journals earlier in the week. We have worked very hard in our math journals each day at school, but there still may be a page or two that you'll find incomplete. That’s okay, the journal is a work in progress. Feel free to go through the math journal with your child and have them tell you about what they’ve learned throughout the first half of our school year! They are free to complete any additional pages at home as we look ahead to the second half of our year, beginning with Unit 7! In Unit 7 the children will be working on patterns in counting, extending this to counting by any number “n.” The children will be encouraged to describe patterns they see. We will also find complements of 10, including finding differences between 2 digit numbers and higher multiples of 10. There will also be opportunity for the students to build their mental arithmetic skills. adding 3 or more one and two digit numbers. We have already begun! The children have also been HARD at work working on their subtraction facts and subtraction with regrouping. They are really growing more and more comfortable with subtraction! Wahoo!
